Leave out the black pepper corns, fennel, and cardamom and it sounds very nice! My son makes an applejack with honey, cinnamon, nutmeg, peel of an orange, half peel of a lime, two vanilla beans split, apple cider, apple juice, and Everclear. I still have four jars sealed in my liquor closet. [He makes a crockpot full so I jar it and store it when the lid ‘pops’. Leave out the cinnamon stick when jarring it.
