Ingredients for 10 servings:
- 250 g sultanas
- 125 g sugar (rock candy)
- 1 liter of schnapps (East Frisian brandy)
Instructions
Working time approx. 10 minutes; Rest period approx. 3 days; Total time approx. 3 days 10 minutes
(Sinbohntjesopp)
Wash the raisins with warm water, drain well, and place in a tureen with the brandy. Dissolve the rock candy in a very small amount of water, add it when cold, stir everything well, and then close the tureen with the lid. After 3 days, when the raisins are nicely soaked, the bean soup is ready to serve. (It’s better to wait a week!!) In East Frisia, this drink is called “Kinnertön” (Kinner’s Ton) to celebrate the birth of a child. It is served in “Branntwienkopkes” (tea cups without handles), with a small teaspoon placed inside. If you don’t have any cups, this wonderfully tasty drink is served in glasses with spoons. It also tastes good topped up with sparkling wine. You should also bake an “East Frisian cake,” which also calls for this bean soup.
