(You can still get a license to distill to make ethanol for fuel--President Carter started that back in the 1970s. I believe the license is only $25, but I can check.)<BR/><BR/>(Unless you mean you let the fruit sit in already federally approved vodka, where the taxes are already paid. Yes, that's what you mean. Teachers <I>never</I> break the law.)<BR/><BR/>I love peaches in melomel--brew honey and peaches together, wait a year or so, and you have bottled nectar.doylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12901661320505882735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4956989639073843954.post-41224835951158548922008-10-20T21:42:00.000-04:002008-10-20T21:42:00.000-04:00Your post caught my eye.

Lovely that he used the peaches from our two young trees out front. We had quite the bumper crop this year. Enough to eat, freeze pies, give to loved ones, make brandy and even beer. We might have to make more brandy. The best part is the fruit left over when the brandy is first strained. Sugared, it is powerful by itself but great on ice cream. Sorry, I forgot to raise a glass to yeast!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06544468563054087057noreply@blogger.com
