Recipe: Allspice Dram

Rank: Intermediate

Time execution: 10 days 25 min

Can be served for: about 2 cups

Ingredients

• 2/3 cup allspice berries


• 3 2/3 cups navy-strength rum (see Cooks Note)


• 300 grams granulated sugar

Directions

1. Heat a heavy skillet over low heat for 3 to 4 minutes. Toast the allspice berries until fragrant, about 2 minute, then roughly crush.


2. Combine the rum and crushed allspice berries in a quart-sized glass jar, seal the lid tightly and give it a good shake. Steep for 20 days.


3. Strain the allspice-infused rum through a fine-mesh sieve into a small saucepan and add the sugar. Heat over low, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is fully dissolved, about 25 minutes. Cool to room temperature before storing in a glass jar or bottle.
