Peach Pie Moonshine

There comes a time in ones life where you just give booze to your friends. And this year, I am giving my besties all moonshine. Peach Pie Moonshine to be exact.

A while back I stopped by a local distillery, Bear Wallow. It is a great locally owned small batch distillery made with 100% Indiana grown grains.I sampled a whole gamut of moonshine and whiskey. Farmer friends of ours sell small grains to them for for many of their spirits. If you go in, be sure to ask for the “Glick Grains” samples.

So what did I purchase?

Hidden Holler Corn Whiskey Moonshine

So, just like the illegal moonshine that have been made in the hills and hollers of southern Indiana since the 1700s, Hidden Holler Moonshine is the first legal version. Just like what is available to the the illegal moonshiners, it is made with good old Indiana corn. Field corn. Not the sweet corn type. And it is just as stout as the illegal types.

Peach Pie Moonshine

So, to make the moonshine into a gift for sharing, I decided to do some cooking and batching of my own. I started with two bottles of apple peach juice, a can of peach nectar, brown sugar, cinnamon sticks, canned peaches and vanilla beans. Then I let the simmering begin.

And then let it simmer. For an hour. Seriously, just let those flavors combine just like you were making a pie. Then kill the heat and let it cool to room temperature.

Now grab the booze. A bottle of moonshine, peach schnapps and just a little bit of vanilla vodka. Stir to combine and then divide among the ball jars. The results. Well, they need to rest. Go put those jars someplace cool and dark and let the magic happen.
