The Best Improvement To The Original Recipe of Gin Soaked Raisins So Far

Nature provides an abundance of remedies. Eating gin soaked raisins is a long-standing folk remedy that has garnered fresh attention these days, for all the good reasons. Though it may seem quite strange initially, but this remedy is worthwhile. It is believed to relieve arthritis pain and like stories of other effective age-old remedies, this one won’t disappoint either. Since a good number of people (since old times) have tried this and had relief, it is fair to say that this remedy actually works.

Why It’s Not a Great Idea To Make Your Own Gin Soaked Raisins

• If you’re trying to make your own gin-soaked raisins, you need to stop right there and know why it’s not a great idea to do so. You will find ample number of gin-soaked recipes all over the internet telling you that dumping golden raisins in a pan and covering them with a pint of gin will magically give you pain-relieving gin soaked golden raisins in just a couple weeks.

• But, these so-freely-available recipes and information may not tell you everything, in fact they may entirely miss out on the most important aspect of making gin soaked raisins- which is selecting the right gin and raisins.

The Best Improvement To The Original Age Old Recipe (of gin soaked raisins) So Far

• 100 years can make a lot of difference, which is why the original gin-soaked raisins recipe of the 20^th century has been tweaked and twisted a million times. However, there’s no doubt in the fact that tweaking an age old thing or in this case a recipe, for improvement, is a good practice. From cars to airplanes, we’ve done it with everything, haven’t we?

• This improvement has been done the best with the emergence of the DrunkenRaisin earlier in this 21st century and it has consistently improved since.

Here’s How The Recipe Goes For These Gin Soaked Raisins Called DrunkenRaisins:

• Instead of store-bought raisins, jumbo golden raisins are used in this recipe, to which the long sought-after correct juniper berry influenced gin is added.

• A true marinating process in a sealed container with a great honey and imported cinnamon bark oil (from Sri Lanka) is created. This can go long from 10 days to two weeks on each batch while agitating them to clean the sulfur dioxide from the surface of the raisin and permitting the honey and cinnamon infused gin to permeate the raisin’s skin.

• When this is ready, the DrunkenRaisins are drained in a large caldron and warmed to draw down some of the alcohol content.

• Once the gin soaked raisins are ready, they are vacuum packed (for a good shelf life) and shipped within 2 to 3 days. To guarantee freshness, a new batch is pulled down 2 or 3 times a week.

The Smart Move You May Want To Take

Even if you can find jumbo golden raisins and the right gin, you’re still 2 weeks away from having gin soaked raisins. Or rather call it a mixed combination that you will call gin-soaked raisins, but would taste a lot like gin?
A smarter move is to order DrunkenRaisins in the 3 lb. quantity (do not buy 1 lb. Quantity as it’s just a taste test) and have a better chance of enjoying all of the pain relief benefits of this special food.
