Clean the fruit and
cut it into bit-size chunks. Put it in the jar, add the sugar. Pour
the rum on top. Make sure there is Rum than fruit, resulting in
an extra layer of 1 centimeter rum. Close the jar. Leave it for at least
2 months. You can use almost any fruit. You can add a layer of fruit
each season.
The Rumtopf was originally
served over Christmas.
It is delicious with ice cream.
You can use the
fruits from the rumtopf also for cooking; use them for instance in
Cassata alla
Siciliana.
