How to Make Peach Brandy

Select 4 pounds of fully ripened, unblemished peaches.
Wash the peaches thoroughly and remove the pits.
Chop the peaches into roughly 1-inch pieces and gently mash them.
Place the mashed peaches in a clean, food-grade 1-gallon plastic container or large glass bottle.
In a separate bowl, dissolve 2 cups of granulated sugar in 1 cup of high-quality vodka or brandy. Stir until completely dissolved.
Pour the sugar-vodka/brandy mixture over the mashed peaches.
Cover the container tightly and let it sit in a cool, dark place for 4 to 6 months, gently stirring every few weeks.
After 4-6 months, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth-lined funnel into a clean bottle.
Your homemade peach brandy is ready to drink! Enjoy responsibly.
