How to make peach liqueur
Let’s start making the peach liqueur. Wash the nectarines, remove the pit, and cut the peaches into small pieces. You need to obtain 800 g of just pulp.
Place the peach pulp in a large jar with an airtight lid, add the pure alcohol, and press the pulp so that the alcohol covers it. Close the jar and let it rest in a cool, dark place for 10 days, stirring daily and pressing the pulp well.
After the resting time, pour the sugar and water into a pot, place it over the heat, and bring to a boil. As soon as it starts boiling, remove from the heat and let cool completely.
When the sugar and water syrup is completely cold, place a strainer over the pot and pour the alcohol and peaches, allowing it to filter through and pressing the pulp well to release any absorbed alcohol.
Mix the alcohol and sugar-water syrup well so that they combine well. Transfer the peach liqueur into bottles and let it rest for at least 15 days before consuming.
Once ready, serve it cold or frozen.
