National Brandied Fruit Day

Brandied fruit is a scrumptious treat to enjoy anytime of the year! To make, all you need is ripened fruit, sugar, and brandy.

You can use brandied fruit to garnish desserts by pouring it over ice cream as a sauce or on desserts like crespelli. Brandied fruit can even be served with breakfast aside an omelet or french toast.

Happy National Brandied Fruit Day!
