How to Make Brandied Holiday Fruit

  1. In a one-quart jar, layer 1 cup of peach halves, 1 cup of pineapple slices, and 1 cup of maraschino cherries. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of sugar between each layer until the fruit reaches the neck of the jar.
  2. Pour in enough brandy to completely cover the fruit. Stir gently to ensure all fruit is submerged.
  3. Seal the jar tightly. Refrigerate for at least 48 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the fruit to become infused with the brandy.
  4. Once ready to serve, remove fruit from the jar as desired. Enjoy this delightful treat on its own, or serve it over vanilla ice cream or pound cake.
