Use a non-reactive container like glass or ceramic. Avoid metal, as it can react with the fruit and brandy. The type of brandy used will influence the final flavor. Experiment with different varieties for a unique twist. For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of dark rum or a few drops of almond extract. The brandied fruit will keep for several months in the refrigerator.
