What is the best fruit soaked in alcohol? ›

RUMTOPF is a traditional way to preserve fruit in alcohol. While rum is traditional, hence the name, it can also be made with other spirits, like Vodka, Brandy... so long as the alcohol % is high enough, and the fruits remain covered in the liquid.

One of summer's finest gifts is the luscious, juicy peach. And the only way to improve on nature's perfection is to soak a bunch of them in Ole Smoky's^® White Lightin' Moonshine. Dip in and grab one of those succulent, moonshine-infused peaches and experience a sweet little slice of heaven.

So you can soak them even for a month, 15 days, 5 days or even the night before you bake. I would recommend, if you don't have much time and want to soak the fruit asap, you can warm the alcohol, ever so gently as you don't want to evaporate the alcohol in the liquid – before adding it to the dried fruit.

The US Food and Drug Administration, the US Department of Agriculture and other scientists agree: use a cold water soak with baking soda to effectively help remove dirt, chemical residue, and other unwanted materials from your fresh vegetables and fruits.

Any fruit can become wine, but grape juice (and, almost as good, apple juice) have the ideal concentrations to become a happy alcohol accident. Alcohol is the result of yeast fermenting sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide.

4)You can use Dark Rum, Brandy, Red Wine or any wine to soak the fruits. 5)Store this in a dry dark place. 6)Shake the fruits every other day for even distribution. 7)If you dont want to use alcohol, use orange juice to soak the fruits, in which case store the dried fruits in fridge and use in a couple of days.

What alcohol should you use? Strong, flavourful spirits with a high ABV are ideal for feeding fruitcakes. You can use rum, brandy or whisky for spice, or if you like citrus flavours, try an orange liqueur. Cherry brandy and amaretto will also work well if you prefer these.

The alcohol prevents any mold or other bacteria from growing on the fruit. Once strained, the vodka can be kept for years.

What alcohol is good to soak apples in? ›

Liquor-soaked apples can take on many shades of flavors, including ones that match the seasons. For something light and summery, infuse zesty granny smiths with vodka, and when fall comes around, let a honey crisp apple soak in cinnamon-spiced rum.

It is possible to use orange juice instead of alcohol to soak the fruits but we would not use it to feed the cake with after baking as fruit juice spoils more easily than alcohol.

The high alcohol content acts as a preservative, thereby minimizing spoilage. The amount of sugar depends on the fruit and your personal taste preference. I tend to stay on the less sweet side of things, but most stone fruits will taste better with a bit more sugar. Shake your jars gently every couple of days.

First, rinse the strawberries. Then, place them in a jar filled with your favorite vodka (mine is Tito's). You want to make sure that the strawberries are submerged. Place the jar in the fridge and let them really soak about 4-6 hours.

Peaches have to be covered with Whisky to keep preserved. What is this? Seal jars with lids and refrigerate for at least 48 hours before enjoying the Whisky Peaches. It's a great recipe to preserve the summer harvest!

Grapes are the most common fruit used as raw material for alcoholic fermentation.

WHAT DO YOU SOAK STRAWBERRIES IN? I've found over the years that the best tasting strawberries have been infused with a dry alcohol. Prosecco, Champagne, Vodka, Rum, White wine, Red wine or Rosé work really well with strawberries.

It is not necessary to keep the steeping fruits in the fridge as both the fruits and the alcohol keep well.
