Instructions

  1. Find a mason jar or other glass container with a tight-fitting lid.
  2. Place the raisins in the jar.
  3. Pour the bourbon (I use Maker's Mark)over the raisins--enough to cover them.
  4. Give them a shake and close up the jar.
  5. Let it sit in your cupboard for a few days (although after just a few hours the raisins will begin to plump), inverting the jar occasionally to make sure all the raisins are getting coated.
  6. Voila!
  7. For bourbon or dark rum, I suggest dark raisins.
  8. For white rum, I suggest golden raisins.
