How to Make Beggers In Rum

  1. Sterilize three wide-mouth pint jars.
  2. Divide the prunes, golden raisins, figs, apricots, and dark raisins evenly among the three jars (approximately 1/3 cup of each fruit mixture per jar).
  3. Add 1/3 cup of rum to each jar. Add a touch more if desired.
  4. In a 2-quart saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and 1 cup of sugar. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
  5. Carefully pour the hot syrup into each jar, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace at the top.
  6. Securely cover the jars with lids.
  7. Let the jars stand at room temperature for at least 2 days. Check the fruit; if it appears dry on top, add a little more rum.
  8. Continue to let the jars stand for a total of one week, or until the fruits are plump and juicy.
  9. Once the week is up, your Beggars in Rum is ready to enjoy! Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.
