National Brandied Fruit Day is October 20th, and we are celebrating with a Brandied Peaches recipe that will perfect for your Holiday entertaining.
Fruits preserved in spirits or brandy prevent the fruit from breaking down or decaying, something like vinegar does.
Brandied fruit is most commonly served over ice cream, puddings, cakes or compotes.
The syrup is strained into a bottle or seal-able carafe, and can be used to impart flavor to fruits or sipped as a cordial or liqueur.
Eau-de-vie or brandy, is quite traditional in Europe.
