Ingredients

Servings: 1
  • 1 kg mixed fruits (raspberries, blackberries, apricots, sour cherries and currants)
  • 750 g Sugar
  • 1 l Rum 54 % by volume
  • 7-10 Tbsp Mineral water
  • 7-10 Tbsp Lemon balm
  • 7-10 Tbsp Cling film

Directions

  1. 1

    Select raspberries and blackberries. Wash apricots, sour cherries and currants and drain well. Halve the apricots, remove stones and dice the flesh roughly. Stone the cherries.

  2. 2

    Strip the currants from the panicles.

  3. 3

    Mix the fruit with sugar, fill into a suitable container (earthenware jar with lid approx. 2.5 l capacity) and let it stand for at least 30 minutes. Then pour rum over the fruits so that the rum is standing finger-wide over the fruits (if necessary, weigh down floating fruits with a saucer).

  4. 4

    Close the rum pot well with cling film and let it stand in a cool place for about 4 weeks.

  5. 5

    Ice cubes and approx. 50 ml rum pot each into glasses. Decorate with lemon balm and top up with mineral water.
