seasonal fruits

🥗Healthier: dried fruits

Dried fruits can be more nutritious, while canned fruits are budget-friendly.

Wash, clean and cut your fruits.

Add a layer of fruits to a large jar.

Add a layer of sugar on top of the fruits, then fill as much rum into the jar as needed to cover the fruits.

If the fruits float, use a plate on top of the fruits to weigh them down and make sure all fruits are covered with rum!

Continue to add a layer of fruits and sugar during the summer and always fill enough rum in to cover all fruits.

Let stand for 2.5 to 3 months (or longer).

Enjoy on ice cream, pudding, or cake or eat the fruits without anything and drink the rum.
