#2 Tyroshi Pear Brandy - Step 2

 

I let the Tyroshi Pear Brandy sit in the bottom of my pantry for a few weeks longer than the month proscribed by the recipe. I figured how could it hurt?

Soon after pouring off the infused liquid into another jar, I realized that the first bottle contained quite the treasure of brandied pears.  How to release them from their bottlenecked prison?

 

A little time and effort, and a sturdy skewer, helped set the fruit free! However, if looking to make the fruit presentable, I would recommend starting off with a more suitable container for collecting the fruit intact.  Using this approach,the slices are pretty well shredded now.
