How to Make Bourbon Or Rum Raisins

  1. Find a clean mason jar or other airtight glass container with a tight-fitting lid.
  2. Add 1 cup (150g) of raisins to the jar. (Use dark raisins for bourbon or dark rum, golden raisins for white rum).
  3. Pour 1 cup (240ml) of bourbon or rum over the raisins, ensuring they are completely submerged.
  4. Gently shake the jar to distribute the liquor evenly and seal tightly.
  5. Let the jar sit in a cool, dark cupboard for at least 3 days, inverting the jar once or twice daily to ensure all raisins are soaked.
  6. After 3 days, taste a raisin! If you prefer a more intense flavor, let it soak for longer (up to 2 weeks).
  7. Once ready, your flavorful raisins are ready to use! Store in the jar, adding more raisins and liquor as needed. The resulting syrup is also delicious – use it in your baking or as a unique glaze!
