Peach Brandy

6 pounds ripe peaches
13 1/2 quarts distilled water
4 1/2 envelopes yeast
7 1/2 pounds granulated sugar
1 pound raw white rice (optional)

Slice peaches in half and discard the pits. Place sliced peaches in a large earthen crock. Add remaining ingredients (the white rice will improve the strength of this liqueur). Stir to dissolve sugar. Let stand 10 days. Strain several times through a fine cloth, then bottle.
