Canned Fruit

[browning348]

So I'm looking in my pantry today and see a can of store bought peaches. The first thing i think of is making a batch of wine with it. It has no preservatives. Just peaches, concentrated peach and pear juice, citric acid, and absorbic acid. Seems to me this could make a decent batch of home brew. Anyone ever tried? Good? Bad? Thoughts/Ideas?

Do you mind sharing your recipe? I'll have a 1 gal carboy open in a week or so and would like to try it.

For 1 gallon I used two 2 pound cans of peaches and 2 cups of sugar 1/2tsp of pectic enzyme 1/2 tsp of acid blend and ec1118 yeast and enough water to,bring to 1 gallon. I also put the peaches through a blender but that's just personal preference. I make peach wine a lot with canned peaches good luck

I've made at least 3 batches of peach meads of various types, never had the "pleasure" of which you speak..
