  • 2 tbsp rum or 2 tbsp water
  • 1 cup golden raisin (6 oz.)
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp allspice

  7. Scoop into greased muffin cups, filling 3/4 full.
  8. Bake 20-25 minutes, until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
