Bourbon (or Rum) Raisins

Step 1

Find a mason jar or other glass container with a tight-fitting lid.

Step 2

Place the raisins in the jar.

Step 3

Pour the bourbon (I use Maker's Mark)over the raisins--enough to cover them.

Step 4

Give them a shake and close up the jar.

Step 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.

Step 6

Voila!

Step 7

For bourbon or dark rum, I suggest dark raisins.

Step 8

For white rum, I suggest golden raisins.
