Moonshine Peaches

Have you ever wanted to make your own moonshine peaches at home? Here's how you can do it using mason jars and a canning kit.
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes
Servings 24 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 6 lbs ripe peaches
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice, halved
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 6 Tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup moonshine

Instructions
 

  • To begin, follow the standard canning protocol and sterilize your jars.
  • Bring a pot of water to a boil and make an "X" on the bottom of each peach with a paring knife. Add the peaches to the boiling water in batches, boiling 1- 2 minutes. Remove the peaches with a slotted spoon and place them into a bowl filled with water and ice. Repeat the process until all peaches are blanched, then peel the skin using a paring knife. Cut the peaches into sections, remove the pit, and set the sliced peaches aside in a bowl of water and 1/4 cup lemon juice.
  • Meanwhile in a large pot combine the brown sugar, white sugar, water, remaining lemon juice, cornstarch, and cinnamon. Whisk together and bring to a boil. Add in peaches (discarding lemon water) and boil for one minute. Remove from heat and add in moonshine.
  • Funnel the mixture into the jars, wipe the rims clean, and top with a hot lid and band. Process the cans in boiling water for 25 minutes then remove from heat and let sit on the countertop to cool for 24 hours; if lids do not pop, process again or eat immediately. Place jars in a cool and dark place for up to 6 months.
