How to Make Peaches In Brandy

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, water, brandy, cinnamon stick, star anise, and vanilla bean (or extract).
  2. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
  3. Gently add the peach halves to the simmering syrup, ensuring they are mostly submerged.
  4. Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer for 45-60 minutes, or until the peaches are tender but still hold their shape. Turn the peaches occasionally to ensure even cooking.
  5. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the peaches cool completely in the syrup.
  6. Once cool, transfer the peaches and syrup to airtight jars or containers.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled, spooned over vanilla ice cream or yogurt, or enjoyed on their own.
