how do they get a peach in a brandy bottle?

Answer 1

They do the same with pears in Switzerland, as a chef in Canada I saw peaches, pears, miribelle plums and cherrys. I used to get a vodka from Poland that was flavored with Bison Grass, thought to be from when the wild European bison roamed the northern Baltic countries and consumed a certain wild field grass, they added 4 or 5 strands to the bottle, had a nice floral taste, I used it for making grav lox and in a melon sorbet.

They place the bottles over the blossom and tie them to the branch, as the fruit grows larger and is the right size, they remove the bottle with the fruit and branch inside and then add the flavoured brandy, liquer or spirit, they never go off, but are hard to get out after you finish the stuff inside.

Answer 2

(The first poster agrees with what I've seen... whole peaches get inside bottles by having the empty bottle placed over the fruit while it's still on the tree and small.
When it's grown, the stem is cut and the bottle-and-peach removed. Not sure if there's further aging of the brandy with the peach or not...)

Answer 3

Some grow the peach from inside the bottle and, less common, some will start to melt and shape glass into the form of a bottle and put the peach in halfway through, than complete the rest of it with the peach inside.

Answer 4

slice it and stuff!
