Brandy Peach Bread is a recipe that beckons to two opposite seasons. Slices of fresh peach are soaked in brandy, evoking the tastes of mid-summer and and chillier days of winter when a jigger of brandy can warm the soul and soften the spirit.
Brandy Peach Bread Recipe
I put this brandy peach bread together on a hot August summer day. With fresh peaches, a hot oven, and a gaggle of hungry boys, I thought this would be a good recipe to put together. Although I made this in mid-summer, it can be be enjoyed mid-anytime.
This brandy peach bread recipe is easy to put together. Don’t have fresh peaches? Not problem. Canned or frozen will substitute well, just make the sure they are drained well before adding to the batter. Of course the shot or two of brandy is optional in this bread; you can skip it all together or substitute it for a spirit of your choosing.

Just the look of those fresh summer peaches brightens a wintry day. In my book the brandy is not optional. And definitely two shots!
Thanks, Brooks. Always an honor for us to hear from you!
This is my kind of recipe! Love peaches any time of year and it’s wonderful the recipe is so versatile too. I like the idea of the brandy – I might try it with some bourbon too! Lovely recipe!!

Now that is a grown up dessert. The brandy makes the whole dish.
Thanks Peter; the kids may have had a bite of this one as well (and loved it!)
Yummo….I will definitely have to save this recipe for when the weather warms a bit. I love fresh peaches and imagine this recipe wouldn’t taste as good as it looks without fresh sweet peaches. Saving for later.
Thanks, Ali! Hope you enjoy!
