Brandy Peach Bread Recipe
Brandy Peach Bread is a recipe that beckons to two opposite seasons. Slices of fresh peach are soaked in brandy, evoking the tastes of mid-summer and and chillier days of winter when a jigger of brandy can warm the soul and soften the spirit.
I put this brandy peach bread together on a hot August summer day. With fresh peaches, a hot oven, and a gaggle of hungry boys, I thought this would be a good recipe to put together. Although I made this in mid-summer, it can be be enjoyed mid-anytime.
This brandy peach bread recipe is easy to put together. Don't have fresh peaches? Not problem. Canned or frozen will substitute well, just make the sure they are drained well before adding to the batter. Of course the shot or two of brandy is optional in this bread; you can skip it all together or substitute it for a spirit of your choosing.
