Best 7 Apricots In Rum Raisin Sauce Recipes

BOURBON (OR RUM) RAISINS

Steps:

• Find a mason jar or other glass container with a tight-fitting lid.
• Place the raisins in the jar.
• Pour the bourbon (I use Maker's Mark)over the raisins--enough to cover them.
• Give them a shake and close up the jar.
• Let it sit in your cupboard for a few days (although after just a few hours the raisins will begin to plump), inverting the jar occasionally to make sure all the raisins are getting coated.
• Voila!
• For bourbon or dark rum, I suggest dark raisins.
• For white rum, I suggest golden raisins.

APRICOTS BAKED WITH RUM

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Lightly butter a baking dish large enough to hold the apricots in a single layer.
• Sprinkle the baking dish with a tablespoon of the sugar. Arrange the apricots, cut side up, in a single layer in the dish. Sprinkle with the remaining sugar and half the rum. Dot with the three tablespoons of butter.
• Bake 20 minutes, remove them from the oven and sprinkle with the remaining rum. Set aside to cool 15 minutes.
• Place a scoop of vanilla ice cream on each of six chilled plates. Arrange four apricot halves on each plate and spoon any of the syrup in the baking dish over the ice cream. Serve at once.
