Brandied Peaches

No ratings yet
  • Home canning. Old canning methods can let botulism through. Use current tested canning guidance.

Ingredients 4 ingredients

  1. Brandy
  2. Peaches
  3. 1/2 pint of water
  4. 1/2 cupful of sugar

Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.

Method

  1. Take off skins with boiling water.
  2. For each pound of fruit allow 1/2 cupful of sugar and 1/2 pint of water.
  3. When syrup is boiling, put in peaches, a few at a time, and cook until done, but not too soft.
  4. Just pierce with straw.
  5. Spread on platters to cool.
  6. When cool, put in jars and fill up with the syrup mixed with just as much good brandy.
  7. Have syrup thick and seal hot.
