Cooking method

• RUMTOPF
• Well? Let's start a marathon? Who is with me?)) In short, hello, hello New Year. Yeah ...
• This is a traditional German dessert for ... Christmas. Collect it ... six months !! They start in June with strawberries, then, as the seasonal fruits / berries ripen, add fruits, rum, and sugar to the pot. You should get such a fragrant assortment. However, I remembered about him only now !!! Therefore, it shamefully swelled all at once into the jar, since the variety of fruits is now wonderful. I have plums, apricots, melon, apple in the jar. Grapes, pears and peaches did not fit. I shuffled something so that I realized too late the scale of the tragedy can size. It is necessary to close them up in a separate pot, plus add quince later.))) That is, you can make a reserve right now, if there is at least something from fruits and at least vodka in the house, and tomorrow / day after tomorrow / in a week you can buy some more then add / add / top up.
• It is often served with ice cream, but it is also eaten just like a dessert.
• About rum. Authentic light rum. But I read that there is fish for fishlessness and cancer, so dark rum and vodka will do. Although the taste will change somewhat. I put this on the windowsill and hung (it's good that it didn't swell, gee-gee)):
• 
• There is light rum, but it's ... Mojito! Not that. Or dark. But his bouquet is too bright. I decided to dilute it with vodka. Here.
• 
• Let's get started. Everything is very simple. Wash the fruit, let it dry, if necessary, cut it into pieces. Spread the jar (pour over with boiling water). I have a can of 2 liters. It seems. I don’t remember exactly)). Add fruit, add about half of the sugar and leave for an hour. Then add the remaining sugar and add alcohol. Close with a lid, also doused with boiling water. All.
• 
• What is important (my conclusions from what I read in various places):
• 1. Alcohol should cover the fruit by about 1-1.5 cm. This is a problem, by the way. because fresh fruit floats. Then you can submerge it temporarily with some kind of weight (with boiled water!))).
• 2. Insist only in the DARK and cool. Light damages the drink.
• 3. Can ferment
• 4. May get moldy
• 5. Fruits to sugar are taken 1 to 0.5.
• 6. Alcoholism is a terrible thing!
• Moldy - kirdyk is an idea. Fermented - either drink it in this form (and what? We are not used to it!))), Or stop the fermentation by adding alcohol. To preserve darkness, you can wrap it with something opaque. Store in a cool and dark place.
• 

This is a pot! I want to join. It's a shame we didn't start with strawberries. And so, there is still dark rum ... apples, pears, plums. And the blackberry?

And the blackberry?

Everything is allowed! And black, and blueberries, and cranberries and at least add dried fruits. There are no restrictions. And spices can be added as desired. Plug the cinnamon with a stick? Or a vanilla pod? I think out loud ...

I'm also in the ranks !!! Upon arrival, I will bribe white rum, so that more !!! And it is not clear that it can grow moldy there. I think fruit should be dried very well!

It turns out that alcohol is highly diluted with juice, so something can happen. Probably.
Light rum, in my opinion, at 60 degrees. It is best suited due to its strength too. I'll go see if this is so))).

I read it on Wikipedia:

Rumtopf (German.Rumtopf - "rum pot") - a method of preserving fresh berries and fruits using sugar and rum.

In the summer, fresh berries are placed on the bottom of an earthen vessel and covered with sugar. After the berries “gave juice” rum is poured into it. (The alcohol content should not be less than 54%). Usually they start with strawberries. As other berries ripen, add the next layer. In this case, the berries should always be covered with liquid. After adding the last layer, everything is mixed and stored in a cool place until it is ready in winter. It is drunk as compote, fruits are added to ice cream and desserts.

Strawberries, cherries, plums, apricots, pears (all pitted) and currants are suitable for making rumtopf.

I especially liked: "They drink it like a compote"

My mother used to do this. Yummy, extraordinary. I especially liked sweet cherries and field strawberries. Only instead of rum there was vodka.

it's good that it didn't swell

Natasha, this is a direct epigraph to the recipe ...
what for us, really ...

current rum is not at home
home e cognac
a yak pot with cognac?
don't know yet
bouquet pick nagy
so that the result is five
you know you inspire us again
ace!

The Russians all drink like compote. Even if it ignites from contact with air! Rzhunimagu)))

Yes, I forgot, I really read about the clay pot. It is considered the most suitable container. Glazed clay, of course.

[Scarecrow]

Scarecrow, Natasha, what an entertainer!
I will "hang out" in your topic.
I do not promise to deliver (there is no possibility yet), but I will watch with great interest.
And there, you see, I will catch up with everyone

Everything is allowed! There are no restrictions. And spices can be added as desired. Plug the cinnamon with a stick? Or a vanilla pod? I think out loud ...

Then I will definitely, I will, I will! And cinnamon and vanilla too ...

[MariS]

MariS,

Sly, and now I have nowhere to shove them.

Tomorrow I'll buy rum and make a separate pot. With rum and spices.

And also my apples float, infections, I don't know how to drown them ...

[MariS]

MariS, and cardamom? and lime zest?
And then there is a proposal! Stir up more, meet and compare aromas and tastes !!!

[Rada-dms]

Rada-dms,
support!

Who has there in the winter on the new veranda +20 - th?

[Rada-dms]

Rada-dms,

Yes. There will definitely not be two alike. We will try so hard there that we will not see either New or Old Years as our own guests ears.)))

eye

Don't insult my freestanding gazebo with veranda fireplace !! And +20 is just a trifle for her. There was +25 at -30. Wow, he'll take you there by the hearth))).

[Rada-dms]

And also my apples float, infections, I don't know how to drown them ...

Yes, let them float up - they have not drunk yet. Drown means "ripe".

Stir up more, meet and compare aromas and tastes !!!

A good idea is a dangerous one, really. You can light it up (remember your youth)!

Rada-dms,

Yes. We will try so hard there that we will not see either the New or the Old Year

Well, at least it's nice to dream!

It would be interesting to measure the finished product with a breathalyzer in winter.

and cardamom? and lime zest?

Yes!!! And also ginger - where is it without it. Only with it, not all fruits are good. You need two pots ... or three. We need a lot.
Moreover, my pots are 500 ml only.

Don't insult my freestanding gazebo with veranda fireplace !!

Oh! Oh! Sorry, please!

some of the difference do not understand the whole life on the third floor after living ...
Natasha, who will take us around ... there is wood all around you ... and the horses are drunk ... the guys are unharnessed ...
lana, convinced, we sit at home
and what motivation was!
eeeeeeeh

[MariS]

MariS,

It's good! I'm talking about half-liter cans. You can make up several different tastes and then figure out which is the most successful.

And I dissuaded someone. On the contrary!)))

thank you ....

My friend, not knowing that it is almost Rumtopf, starts with strawberries in mid-May, then cherries go to a jar, then apricots, raspberries, peaches ... Pours vodka. And at the end of September he serves on the table on her husband's birthday. Yes, deliciously indescribable. And not too tight. In general, we still sell all this (except for cherries) fresh on the market, it could be done ... It will just be infused by Christmas. Thank you, Scarecrow, what prompted!

It would be interesting to measure the finished product with a breathalyzer in winter.

I would like to clarify. What to measure and whom? If the product, then it is better with an alcohol meter. And if ready-made tasters are in a free-standing gazebo, then definitely a breathalyzer
I join the process. Everything is there for production. Question. Can frozen strawberries be considered just cooled if they are in the freezer for less than a month?

Can frozen strawberries be considered just cooled if they are in the freezer for less than a month?

Yes, I have the same question: will frozen berries work?
Natasha, thanks for the recipe!

Why not? That's what I think. Even if dried fruits are suitable ... Will they give you juice? So the fresh ones still give the same juice. I have a layer of juice at the bottom since yesterday.

Explain. If I cut strawberries in June, sprinkle them with sugar and wait until the end of July for the next fruits, then the berry should sour, in theory.

[Iris. ka]

Iris. ka, will not turn sour, you, each layer of fruit-berries are covered with sugar and filled with rum (vodka) so that the berries are in the liquid. I do this - strawberries, raspberries and cherries in layers, it turns out sooooo tasty and aromatic, and the degree is not very strong, they take away the extra fruits.

[iris. ka]

iris. ka,

No, not a bit like that. Here you took 500g of strawberries. So you add 250g of sugar to them and fill it with rum to hide. Then your raspberries / currants / blueberries / meadow strawberries / plums / apricots, etc., are ripe. You take, say, 300g of some berries / fruits. You put them in the same pot, add 150g of sugar and add rum again. to hide. And so on, until you fill it with all sorts of different fruits to the top. That is, every serving of fruit is constantly in a mixture of sugar and rum. Each portion to be added requires adding sugar in the proportion of 0.5 of the weight of the fruit and adding rum in an amount at which the fruit will hide under a layer of liquid.

Natasha, can a "dark and cool place" be a refrigerator?

[Scarecrow]

Scarecrow, Natuska, I will also do as I return from vacation. And there is a suitable pot!

[gala10]

gala10,

Can! I read. I haven't tried it myself. If sho - do not kick (you can use your hands))).

Irina F

Come on, join in. If the garbage works out - at least it will not be offensive that one was led))).

oh, girls! what a tumultuous and delicious discussion you have! I have already all spent reading! super recipe! next year, yes, definitely!
and last year I just made a pear, I will not share the recipe, it remained in Chernivtsi as unnecessary ... for now ...
pears were poured with vodka, infused for some time in a dark place, then syrup was cooked, cinnamon and cloves were added, all this was topped up. delicious spicy liquor came out. and when everything was drunk, on Easter I took the "density" for a visit (I'm already fed up, I think - let the people eat up). so people just mashed this drunken-spicy pear!

Thank you very much for reminding me, my dad used to make such goodies: he also added pineapple, tangerine, blueberries to the above. This is certainly to hurry, many fruits are already leaving ...

[Scarecrow]

Scarecrow, Natuska, I will also do as I return from vacation. And there is a suitable pot!

I'm already asking for a tasting ... In advance ...

[gala10]

gala10,

Can! I read. I haven't tried it myself. If sho - do not kick (you can use your hands))).

Irina F

Come on, join in. If the garbage works out - at least it will not be offensive that one was led))).

Hahaha! Natuska! Duc, of course, it's not so offensive for the company, but even fun

[Ukka]

Ukka, Olya, amused !!!! What? How will I come, how will I fill their rumptofin !!! And then together to eat we will taste !!!

The ice has broken - I put plums in a 1.5-liter jar. I decided not to waste time on trifles with volumes.
No, the pots will also be used. I will fill them in parallel with apricots.

Here the question arose: "What if, immediately after plum, pour apricots or some other string of fruit into the same container?"
So far, only the plums have been filled in ...

Now about the rum. My bacardi only has 40 *. In the dark, even less - 37 *. Mix with vodka and keep in the refrigerator? I will observe the process and if anything, I will urgently dispose of it.

Wow, how did I look in time !!! And I! And I'm with you !!! The current here is in my carriage of alcohol, but the rum has suddenly ended. And I don’t know where to put alcohol for 6 years. I split the canister into glass bottles, corked it up and wrapped it with duct tape. Well, it's worth it ... For all the years we can spend a liter on the rounds of syudy. Mozhetrapka insisted, there was some other experiment with mint. In short, he can stand for a century. We must start using it. How can I unbind him correctly, so that later Natakha and my pot would not get dead or dead?

Wow, how did I look in time !!! And I! And I'm with you !!! The current here is in my carriage of alcohol, and the rum suddenly ran out

Nothing ... such a warehouse disappears!
How many of these pots are there?
I would dilute 1: 3, well, if the specialists pull up, you will more accurately divorce them ...

Yeah, I'll wait for the specialists !!!

[Ilona]

Ilona,

And you didn’t measure the percentage with an alcohol meter? If taken as a starting point, it is almost 100% (usually 95%). Light rum has 54% alcohol (almost 60, so we will assume so). That is, for simplicity, alcohol is 100%, rum - 60%. So it is necessary to dilute the alcohol by taking 4 parts of water (good, filtered) and 6 parts of alcohol. So you should have almost rum in strength. It will still be diluted with juice and will not be so strong.

Alcohol :)))) Are you laughing right? )) I don't even know where they buy this curiosity. It seems that no one was needed. Probably the people laugh and read that they sat down in Russia, they don’t know what he looks like :))). Natasha, well, there is not only water that needs to be added. I heard something about sugar or a sling ... Like a hundred and something you can but something down ... And also milk the aroma of rum, what to drink? I’ll call Tver about the planting. He has a whole production there, relatives and friends praise it. He is having fun there, something slump, something dries, something insists, adds, dilutes and so on. There is a whole science

[Ilona]

Ilona,

What syrup? The rum is not sweet! And in vodka, I don't remember the syrup))). In this recipe, vodka is used for lack of rum (still an expensive product). You will actually use vodka, but not 40%, but 60%, as an alcoholic preservative. And you will add everything else yourself according to the recipe. Fruits give juice, sugar according to the recipe and so it is put, add spices and spices: cardamom, zest, vanilla in pods, cinnamon stick - at your discretion ... Whatever you want. This will be the bouquet. And diluted alcohol is just the base. And light rum, by the way, does not have such a bright bouquet. Maybe that's why he is taken: so as not to hamper the flavors of everything else.

Okay!!! Tomorrow I'll go to the market, if the priest is heavy today. Although ... All the same, the cub will have to shove for a bouquet today !!! I'll go for blueberries, strawberries, apricots. And Dad sent about 3 kg of lingonberries in the morning! And what am I to do with her? That year it was frozen and never eaten. I baked the pie once or twice and that's it! They say somehow they make lingonberry water useful, go or look for something on the internet ...

[Ilona]

Ilona, and have not tried soaked lingonberries?

[Ilona]

Ilona,

do you drink jelly?

gala10
Galya, have you tamped the pot?

I didn’t try the soaked one, it was jelly-like!

But for the soaked go and the cellar nadot? And my balcony freezes over in winter.

[Ilona]

Ilona, I keep soaked lingonberries in the refrigerator.

[Ilona]

Ilona, Ilona, ​​I pour lingonberries with syrup and Fse. Stands in the hallway on the dresser all winter until I eat it.As easy as shelling pears, I put the washed berries into the jars, not up to the top by two fingers, then pour hot syrup, and not necessarily very sweet. I close it with a lid - you can put it on its side or turn it over. Will stand and so and so. In winter, she got a fever like in childhood, only with cranberries she was saved: she ate berries and drank the syrup with boiling water. The berries can be drained into a pie - they are not very sweet for me. Highly recommend.
girls, forgive me for not being in Temka, I'll take your recipe in the bookmark too. I have everything in large quantities except a cold place - where can I get it? I even have a 5 liter vessel
