Peach Moonshine

Ingredients

  • 2 64 oz bottles white grape peach juice
  • 2 15 oz cans sliced peaches in heavy syrup
  • 2½ cups granulated sugar
  • 6 - 7 cinnamon sticks
  • 1 750 ml bottle grain alcohol I used 190 proof Everclear
  • 1 750 ml bottle peach schnapps

Preparation

Step 1

In a large pot, bring juice, peaches w/ syrup, sugar, and cinnamon sticks to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer for 45 minutes.
Remove from stove and allow mixture to cool to room temperature, then add the peach schnapps and grain alcohol. **CAUTION: Do not add alcohol near a flame or heat source. It is highly flammable. Make sure mixture is completely cooled before adding alcohol.
Stir well, then pour through a strainer layered with a cheesecloth to remove peaches and any pieces of the cinnamon sticks.
Divide peaches and cinnamon sticks evenly between the jars.
Ladle moonshine into clean mason jars, leaving a 1/2 inch head.
Place lids on jars and allow to sit in a cool, dry place for 1 month before enjoying.
