Hi from Di.
TodayI bring you an easy peasy idea for Christmas. These are DELICIOUS! (and I do not touch brandy normally.) You can make them for home or for gifts and believe me with ICE CREAM they are delish!!!
Lets start with what you will need:
750 gm seedless raisins
1 litre of inexpensive brandy
2 jars ( I used empty coffee jars)
some fabric and ribbon for decoration
Day 1 Put the raisins in your jars and top up with brandy as shown 
Day 2: The raisins will have begun to "sup" up the brandy so mix up the raisins with a spoon and top up to cover with the brandy.
Day 3: The raisins are still "supping" up the brandy so again, mix up the raisins with a spoon and top up to cover the raisins with the brandy.
This is how much brandy you should have left. Now just leave then in a nice cool place to FERMENT LOL.
OK you cannot leave them too long they will last FOREVER.
But eventually decorate and give them away (boo hoo) or use them youself!!! I dipped two circles of cream fabric into a bowl of hot coffee, rinsed the fabric, let it dry then made a lid and tied with ribbon.
I decided to make just two gifts but you could easily decant the raisins into smaller jars and have about 4 or 6 gifts!!!
Eat them out the jar, pour them on ice cream, or serve with Xmas pudding. They will warm the cockles of your heart.
PS. Don't forget to to visit our Just Giving page where you can make make a donation to Breakthrough Breast Cancer.
Woo Hoo as of this morning you have donated 100 Pounds!!! Great stuff Folks and THANK YOU!!!
Love from Di and thanks for visiting!!!
