It was a Bank Holiday Monday in Nevis today so not much news going on. As I was sipping on some good Cavalier Rum, I thought I would put up this Rum & Raisin Sauce recipe from Pemos restaurant.
Rum and Raisin Sauce Ingredients:
1/2 Cup Dark Rum, not spiced
1/2 Cup Seedless raisins
1/2 Cup Sugar
1/4 Cup Water
1 Stick cinnamon
1/4 Teaspoon Vanilla extract
1 Tablespoon Freshly grated lemon peel
1 Tablespoon Freshly grated orange peel
1/2 Cup Pistachio pieces
Rum and Raisin Sauce Cooking Method:
Pour rum over raisins and let stand until raisins are nice and plump (several hours). Mix sugar, water, cinnamon and simmer for 5 minutes. Discard cinnamon, add raisins and rum. Simmer another 5 minutes until sauce is reduced by 25%. Add vanilla. Remove from heat and add lemon and orange peels and nuts. Serve warm over vanilla ice cream.
Enjoy!
