Ingredients
- 2 medium-large oranges
- 2 lemons
- 1 small box raisins (about 1½ ounces [40g])
- 8 oz (220g) honey
- 12 oz (355 mL) whiskey (or more, to taste).[1]
- ½ to 1 teaspoon each of any or all of these spices: cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, caraway seed, aniseed
Directions
1.Make this in a crock pot. It's easier than cooking on the stove and much less likely to overcook or scorch. For the quantities shown here, a small (1.5 quart) crock pot will do.
2.Peel the oranges and lemons. Cut up the fruit and squeeze them into the crock pot. A garlic press works, or some kind of juicer or fruit squeezer. Put the remaining fruit pulp into the crock pot as well.
3.Add the raisins, honey, and spices. Stir. Note: do not add whiskey yet!
4.Start the crock pot and let the mixture cook for about 2-4 hours. Stir occasionally. It's complete when the fruit pulp gets cooked down.
5.Strain into a pitcher. Mash down the fruit in the strainer to get all the liquid. Now add the whiskey to the pitcher and stir. If you cook the whiskey, even for a short time, the alcohol will start to evaporate. Taste, and add more whiskey to your liking.
6.Serve hot in shot glasses, espresso cups, or coffee mugs. After the first round, each individual serving can be heated in the microwave.
