Ingredients

  • 6 cups raisins
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup brandy
  • 1 cup Benedictine
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon bitters

Instructions

  1. Bring all ingredients to a boil.
  2. Reduce heat and cook on low for 2 hours.
  3. Serve over ice cream, cakes, or puddings.

Tips & Substitutions

For a richer flavor, consider using dark raisins instead of regular ones. You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a different sweetness profile. If you prefer a non-alcoholic version, replace brandy and Benedictine with extra water and a splash of vanilla extract. Remember to stir occasionally while cooking to prevent sticking, especially since this recipe includes honey.

Serving Suggestions

This delightful raisin mixture can be served over vanilla ice cream or paired with cakes and puddings for a decadent dessert. It also complements pancakes or waffles beautifully. For a unique twist, try it with Spiced Walnuts(This Recipe Is From The 16Th Century.) for added texture and flavor contrast.

Storage & Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. To reheat, gently warm the mixture on the stovetop over low heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through. You can also microwave it in short bursts, stirring in between to ensure even warming.
