Pronounced bor-en-young-us , this traditional recipe is a brandy/raisin cordial served most commonly at holiday time as an aperitif or as a dessert when friends gather to offer Felicitateer Nieuw Jaar . Can be served after two days, but mellows if made at least 3 months in advance. From the Michigan Dutch chapter of the United States Regional Cookbook, Culinary Institute of Chicago, 1947. Ingredients:
1 lb raisins or 1 lb sultana |
1 lb sugar |
1 quart brandy (whiskey works well, also) |
Directions:
1. Cover raisins with water and cook for ten minutes.
2. Drain and add sugar; stir to dissolve.
3. Add brandy and let stand at least two days in a closed container.
4. Portion raisins and liqueur into small glasses (small spoons will make eating the raisins easier).
