A Long Day Canning

Directions

1. 1
   (adapted from Brandied Peaches in Paul Virant's The Preservation Kitchen) Wash, pit, and slice 1 peach Combine 1/2 cup brandy, 1/3 cup sugar, 1/4 water in a saucepan. Heat until sugar dissolves. Pour liquid over peach. Let steep (the longer the better). Mixture should last a long time in the refrigerator (if the drink is to your taste, it probably won't last that long).
2. 2
   Combine Root, peach liquid, and bitters in a mixing glass; stir briefly and pour over ice cube in a rocks glass.
