How to connect to AWS elasticache?

Could someone give a step-by-step procedure for connecting to elasticache.

I'm trying to connect to a redis elasticache node from inside my EC2 instance (sshed in). I'm getting Connection Timed Out errors each time, and I can't figure out what's wrong with how I've configured my AWS settings.

They are in different VPCs, but in my elasticache VPC, I have a custom TCP inbound rule at port 6379 to accept from anywhere. And the two VPCs share an Active Peer connection that I set up. What more am I intended to do?
