I spend a lot of time developing recipes for the many fruits and vegetables we grow on our farm. In this creation, brandy is enhanced with apples and spices for a delightful drink.Deanna Seippel, Lancaster, Wisconsin Ingredients:
4 cups sugar |
2 cups water |
4 pounds apples, sliced |
1 liter brandy |
3 whole cloves |
1 cinnamon stick (3 inches) |
additional whole cloves and cinnamon sticks |
Directions:
1. Combine sugar and water in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat.
2. Place apples in a large glass or plastic container; add the sugar mixture, brandy, cloves and cinnamon stick. Cover and let stand at room temperature for at least two weeks, stirring once a week.
3. Strain brandy mixture; discard apples and spices. Pour into glass bottles. Place an additional three cloves and one cinnamon stick in each bottle. Yield: 2 quarts.
