Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 20 minutes

Preparation over several months!

Around May/June, have a tall, straight stoneware or porcelain pot with a lid (5 l capacity) ready. Wash the strawberries thoroughly, chop any large ones into small pieces, and add them to the pot with the rum and sugar. Store the pot in a cool, dark place. One month later, add 500 g of seasonal fruit (sour cherries, etc.) to the pot with 250 g of sugar each. Pour on enough rum so that it comes 2 cm above the fruit. Mix everything well. Repeat this process every month until October. Tip: Other possible fruits include apricots, peaches, mirabelles, pears, pineapples, plums, and apples. Your imagination is the limit (my mother adds a few walnuts at the end). Return the pot to a cool place. Tap the rum pot on the first Sunday of Advent. The rum pot will keep for about 9 months.
