Peach, Honey and Cardamom Wine Cordial

Ingredients

• 5 large, ripe peaches, peeled
• 1 bottle dry white wine
• 8 cardamom pods
• 1/2 cup italian honey
• 2/3 cup vodka

Directions

Place the whole peaches in a large glass jar. Add the wine and cardamom pods; the wine should cover the peaches fully. Cover the jar and let stand at room temperature overnight, then refrigerate for 4 days.

Strain the wine into a nonaluminum saucepan. Place over low heat, add the honey and stir just until the honey dissolves, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool. Stir in the vodka.

Ladle the liqueur into a clean glass bottle or jar. Cover and refrigerate until well chilled, about 2 hours. Serve chilled. The liqueur will keep for up to 1 month in the refrigerator.

Serves 6 to 8.
