"When placing fruit in your shine is there any special way or a length of time to keep it in.
1. peels? 2. do you need cheese cloth to place the fruit in for easy extraction later? 3. how much fruit for a pint or quart? 4. Any good receipts.
I would love to fruit up some of my questionable heads."

My wife really likes flavored hooch, especially raspberry. She just takes a jar & fills it about 1/3 full of frozen or fresh raspberries & lets it set until it's to her liking. (about 3 weeks) Then she just pours the liquor through a fine strainer. She usually makes martinis with this. If the fruit in question is liable to come apart, I'd use a cheesecloth just to make it easier to strain, but I wouldn't think you'd have to.

"I made some pear and strawberry my last batch. I added sugar - DON'T! I let it sit outside and shook it everyday and it has a great fruit flavor but too sweet. I just put up some peach and cherry. Here's what I did. Dilute to 40% with a qt jar about 2/3 full. Fill remainder with fruit less seed but I put the peels in. More fruit flavor i hope. I will taste it as it goes along probably starting in a week then either strain it or just try it like it is. The longer on the fruit the better. I'll let you know. "
