Peaches in Brandy image

What a treat! Too good for kids, of course, so hide them in the far back of the cupboard! *Preserving Nature's Bounty* by Frances Bissell gets all the credit for this one.

Time 1h15m

Yield 2 quart jars, 8-16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 peaches, skinned, halved & pitted (2# total)
4 cups sugar
2/3 cup water
1 teaspoon almond extract
brandy (see recipe)

Steps:

  • Prepare peaches (dip peaches into boiled water, then into ice-cold water--skins will slip off; then halve and twist to remove the pit).
  • Make a syrup with the sugar & water in a large sauce-pan; stir mixture until it boils.
  • To the boiling syrup, add peach halves and extract.
  • When fruit is cooked (5-7 min), remove pan from heat, drain (reserve); cool fruits and spoon carefully into prepared jars.
  • Half fill jars with reserved syrup, run a butter knife down the jar to remove air bubbles; fill jars to the top with BRANDY.
  • Seal jars with lids, shake gently to mix syrup and brandy.
  • Store in a cool dark place--use within six months.
  • I've also added a pinch of cinnamon and cloves with VERY good results.
