How to Make Beggers In Rum
- Sterilize three wide-mouth pint jars.
- 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).
- Add 1/3 cup of rum to each jar. Add a touch more if desired.
- 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.
- Carefully pour the hot syrup into each jar, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace at the top.
- Securely cover the jars with lids.
- 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.
- Continue to let the jars stand for a total of one week, or until the fruits are plump and juicy.
- Once the week is up, your Beggars in Rum is ready to enjoy! Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.
