This is a German Christmas treat. We have made it for years.
1.As soft fruit ripens, take a tall Kilner jar. Put a layer of fruit in, cover with sugar, then cover with rum. Do this until the jar is full. Leave until a short time before Christmas, then drain the jar. Bottle the liquid and put the fruit in a lidded dish. You can make a lovely trifle from the fruit, & the drink is delicious. Be careful, we herd of a man losing his licence because he thought he would be alright to drive if he had only had some of the fruit. I love it.
