Was just given about 10 gallons of peaches. I already have a 5 gal batch of peach wine going so I was thinking of trying to make some schnapps out of them. Anybody have a recipe for these?
 
Dunno about a genuine schnapps because it requires distillation which is illegal for the home winemaker but you could make a liqueur or an extract from them depending on which fit your style better.

The basics:

Liqueur - let the fruit ferment w/ sugar or honey for a few weeks then spike with a vodka or something

Extract - let the fruit sit in high proof alcohol and strain off after a few weeks

If you wanted to make a cello, make an extract and then sweeten it / dillute it with simple syrup until it tastes desirable
