brandied fruit
Liquor-soaked preserves
Brandied fruit is fruit preserved in brandy or another spirit.
The alcohol acts as a preservative while infusing the fruit with warmth and complexity.
Common choices include cherries, peaches, and pears.
Brandied fruit appears in desserts, as a topping for ice cream or cake, or served alongside cheese: She spooned brandied cherries over the pound cake.
