The next step is to season the fruit. You need a container with a volume of at least three liters. In addition to the peach halves, add the sliced lemon, the cloves and the cinnamon stick to this. Now add the rum and schnapps so that all of the fruit is completely covered with the alcohol.
Now close the jar tightly, because no more air must get in or out. Then keep the jar in a warm place for three weeks.

After the three weeks have passed, you must separate the fruit from the liquid. To do this, simply pour off the liquid through a sieve.

By the way: You don't have to throw away the fruit. You can still eat them. However, the very high alcohol content must be taken into account.
