Cordial Notes: Stage 1 of Peach A

I took 6 decent sized peaches and chopped and peeled them. They came out to about 4 cups. I poured 3.25 cups of Early Times Whisky over them. My hope is to end up with something more or less like Southern Comfort. Tom was gifted with the whisky a few years ago, but never cared for it. This seemed like a good way to use it up.

I'll strain it and add the sugar syrup on October 19th.

Mostly From Scratch Spaghetti Sauce

A big pot containing all of the following is simmering away on my stove right now:

3 medium onions
minced garlic
1 30 oz can of tomato sauce
basil
thyme
oregano
rosemary
salt
black pepper
cayenne pepper
balsamic vinegar
sage vinegar
cherry cordial
1 green bell pepper
16 tomatoes of at least 2 varieties

I didn't really measure anything, or follow a recipe, so I'm not sure how it's going to turn out. It sure smells like spaghetti sauce though.

If anyone has suggestions for other things to toss in, let me know.
