Peach Cordial

Instructions

Gather ripe cling-stone peaches, wipe off the down, cut them to the stone in several places, and put them in a cask; when filled with peaches, pour on as much peach brandy as the cask will hold; let it stand six or eight weeks, then draw it off, put in water until reduced to the strength of wine; to each gallon of this, add one pound of good brown sugar; dissolve it, and pour the cordial into a cask just large enough to hold it; when perfectly clear, it is fit for use.
