Rum Raisins for Baking

Prep Time: 2 minutes
Soak Time 1 day
Total Time: 1 day 2 minutes
Plump, juicy raisins soaked in spiced dark rum. Just 2 ingredients, perfect for Apfelstrudel, rum raisin ice cream, and more.

Ingredients

  • 50 to 100 g raisins about ⅓ to ⅔ cup
  • Spiced dark rum enough to just cover the raisins (about ¼ to ½ cup)

Instructions

  • Fill the jar: Put the raisins in a clean mason jar or clip-top glass jar.
  • Add rum: Pour in the spiced dark rum until the raisins are just covered.
  • Seal: Close the jar tightly.
  • Soak: Let soak for at least 24 hours, or up to 1 week.
  • Use: Spoon out as needed for your recipes.

Notes

  • Shake the jar gently once in a while so all the raisins soak evenly.
  • Add more rum if the raisins soak it up and are no longer covered.
  • Contains alcohol. For an alcohol-free version, use warm apple juice and keep refrigerated.
  • Keeps for several months sealed and covered with rum.
