PEACH,
HONEY, AND CARDAMOM WINE CORDIAL
Make
this special cordial when fresh peaches
are at their best. Serve it in the garden
after a summer dinner.
5
large, ripe peaches, peeled
1 bottle (24 fl oz / 750 ml) dry white wine
8 cardamom pods
1/2 cup honey
2/3 cup vodka
Place
the whole peaches in a large glass jar.
Add the wine and cardamom pods; the wine
should immerse 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. It will keep for up to
1 month in the refrigerator.
Serves
6 - 8.
