Canning Figs in Bourbon and Other Alcohol
Drunken fruit has become one of the tastiest items I preserve. Of course the alcohol content burns off when heated, but the bourbon flavor remains.
Canning figs and other fruit in bourbon, rum, whisky, Amaretto, and even vodka puts a scrumptious spin on things. Will the kids enjoy the flavor? Probably not, but many adults will. There is something special when the combination of fruit, simple syrup and alcohol comes together.
Think about it, what’s better than serving drunken bourbon peaches and brandied cherries over pastries and vanilla bean ice-cream? Or Amaretto apple butter? What about apple cinnamon fruit leather with a twist? How about a raspberry cordial as a dessert sipper?
Is all this deliciousness possible? Yes, in fact it is possible, and more importantly, it is delicious.
