Steeping Fresh Fruit in Alcohol Question?

I think it'll last a long time because the alcohol kills off bacteria and germs.

I'm no doctor though.

thought so. just wanted some reassurance. got some high quality "alcohol" from a cousin for christmas and plan on trying a few different flavors.

its just as simple as letting it soak in there, right? or do i need to cook, lets say peaches, first to release some of the flavors and sugars?

I've actually infused bacon in vodka for Bloody Mary's. Turned out pretty awesome. Fried the bacon, put in airtight container with vodka and let it sit a week occasionally stirring it. Then strained vodka. Perfect Bacon Bloody Mary.
