Peach Cordial

Ingredients

• 1 peck of cling-stone peaches
• 2 gallons of double-rectified whiskey
• 3 pounds of rock-sugar candy

Instructions

Take cling-stone peaches; such as come late in the season, and are very juicy. Pare them, and cut them from the stones. Crack about half the stones and save the kernels. Leave the remainder of the stones whole, and mix them with the cut peaches; add also the kernels. Put the whole into a wide-mouthed demi-john, and pour on them double-rectified whiskey. Add rock-sugar candy. Cork it tightly, and set it away for three months: then bottle it, and it will be fit for use. This cordial is as clear as water, and nearly equal to noyau.
