adult peach pie

[brew]

so have been working on an adult style peach pie recipie as a spin off from apple pie and this is what we came up with:

2 gallons of peach juice
45 ounces sliced peaches
6 cups sugar
12 cinnamon sticks
boil this concoction for an hour
once the temperature drops below 130 add:
two fifths of peach schnapps
1/2 gallon of everclear (or in my case 1/2 gallon of homemade corn squeezins of 180 proof)

this will make about 3 gallons of the best tasting stuff you will ever find...
refridgerate and only take a shot or so at a time..better have your seat belt on....

Have any to share?!

[brew]

would love to share the wealth...let me know when you are in the area...first batch went pretty quick...am working on the next batch now

Since peaches aren't in season I'm guessing that you used canned peaches. I still have several quarts of peaches that I canned last fall. When using canned do you drain and just use the fruit or do you dump it all in?

[PolarBear]

I did something similar with peaches that I froze from last season but didn't add juice. Frozen peaches, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and home squeezins tempered down to 70 proof. Let sit for a couple of months, remove solids then filter until almost clear.  Good stuff but the wife brought it out at Easter and now my 1 gallon batch went home with others.    Did a batch of 60 proof Asian pear that was to die for.

I have an Asian pear/apple tree.(I think that's what it is called?)  Last year had so much fruit half the tree broke off, but is this what you speak of?  I really don't know what to do with it.  If it makes good drink that would be great.  We make apple pie every year so a recipe on this tree would be great.  We don't like the real sweet weak versions.??

My Asian pears were overloaded and broke last year as well.  I like my Asian rear shine with just a touch of pear taste and not overpoweringly sweet like many apple pie recipes.  Basically fill a couple of quart jars with cut up Asian pears and add one tablespoon of sugar per jar.  Shake it up and let it sit until the juice starts extracting from the pears.  Fill jars with whatever proof neutral spirit you want and let it soak for a few weeks then strain out the solids.  The pears will be pretty hard to put down though.    Most of your commercial flavored shines are less than 70 proof.  If you get it too "hot" it takes away from the flavor. IMO.

So everclear then or maybe vodka? Hmm maybe try both..  Thanks Polar.

[gaddy]

Sounds good. Wonder what it would be like with some mango mixed in ?

Great timing for this thread! The BEER I consume is going to make me start jogging or something? Less calories more power!

[Mudman]

  I hate this time of year.  Have to drop those extra lbs from winter!  10lbs gone 4 to go.  Beer had nothing to do with it..

[gaddy]

I hear you Mudman. It's amazing how it always accumulates in the belly area.

[brew]

Hey Mudman...if you want some home-made let me know...i've go some in the freezer waiting to be "rehomed"...tastes better than that nasty everclear

[NOCK NOCK]

Where does one find peach juice? 

I LOVE peaches, need to try this ASAP, Thanks for the recipe.

[brew]

You can buy peach juice / syrup at most grocery stores...12 or 16 ounce cans.  Just finished another quart down at our daughter's house...gonna have to stay the nite...everyone loves it

[NOCK NOCK]

Well I cooked up a 1/2 batch today. Tasted really good while it was still warm, gonna be even better when chilled.

Cant say I've ever seen peach juice in a store (worked in grocery for 27 years too) so I used canned peach nectar (found in the Mexican aisle) I tweaked the recipe a bit too. For a 1/2 batch I used 1 fifth peach schnapps, 1 fifth peach flavored vodka, and 1 cup 180proof everclear.

Cant wait for the weekend so I can sample it in earnest. 

[brew]

just talked with my buddy who got the juice and it wasn't the nectar like i previously posted...he bought gallon jugs at Wal-Mart on the same isle that has apple juice/cider, etc...he said the label was Oregon (something) peach juice.  gonna try to get a pic and post it

glad you liked the taste...its going fast so gonna cook up another batch next week...using some 184 proof home-made corn squeezins but my supply is running low on that so will have to still off some more of that

will put a hydrometer on the peach pie we made to see what the temp is

[brew]

so put the hydrometer in the peach pie and am having problems....don't know what the issue is but it won't register the alcohol content...don't know if it because of the viscosity of the liquid or because it is mixed...normally when i'm done stilling a batch of home-made i can put some in the hydrometer and it will let me know what temp/proof the juice is.  any way as far as booze content of this recipie  i don't know...2 gallons of peach juice plus 2 fifths of peach schnapps and a 1/2 gallon of 180 proof ...that would tend me to belive that you wouldn't want to opereate machinery or drive after consuming some of this delicious nectar...i will try to do some further studies to find out the alcohol content but don't know why...its dam good

[Timberstalker]

You can't get alcohol content because you have stuff other than alcohol and water. The specific gravity is off. You would have to calculate it... I'm sure you can find an online calculator. I found one when we made Kaluah  out of everclear from oregon.

  Looks tasty. I've been messing around with different recipes after the Apple pie I made. Tried a Pineapple Coconut recipe that went straight down the drain after sitting for a month. And have a Cherry pie version that's​been sitting for a month , opened a jar last night and pretty sure it's getting dumped also.

[NOCK NOCK]

 I would think the cherry version would taste like cough syrup  yuk

The cherry could be tried with coke... cherry coke with a kick?

That's what my wife said. I just think it's not sweet enough , tastes kind of like Cherry cough syrup

[Special T]

I think the coke would solve that, or just add more sugar. I know with the Kaluha we made it was best if it sat several months.

You should have saved the pineapple coco nut to add to pina colada mix.

it seems our apple pie is better the longer it sits but this peach pie is so dang good once its cooled that its gone before its "aged".  will try to stash some in the shop that can't be found...probably behind the weedeater as no one will touch that thing but me

Tell me more about this Kaluha ?
The Pineapple Coconut was just plain disgusting.

ran another batch today...as far as the "peach juice" walmart has 1/2 gallon jugs of white grape/peach juice that tastes like peaches...that's what i used.  Basically 2 gallons of that juice plus 12 cinnamon sticks, 6 cups of sugar ...simmer this for about 45 mins then put in 45 oz of sliced peaches with heavy syrup for another 20 mins.  You won't need to really strain the concoction just lift out the peach slices and cinnamon stix.  add 2 fifths of peach schnapps (mine was 21 %) and i added almost another 1/2 gallon of 184 proof homemade corn squeezins. take the peach slices that you simmered in the mixture and put them in jars before you fill them up (2-3 slices per quart)  i ended up with 12 1/2 quarts of heaven.  as you can see in the pics the peach slices that are floating weren't simmered in the mix (ran out of those and they remained in the bottom of the jar) so just took some out of a can of sliced---
