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---
