Ingredients

1.4 liters rum, brown (54%)
750 g rock candy, white
g 1,200 raspberries (frozen)

Instructions

For the raspberry fire, I use a 3-liter bottle with a slightly wider opening (the rock sugar and the raspberries have to fit through the neck of the bottle). First you put the still frozen raspberries and then the rock sugar in the bottle until it is about 2/3 full, and fill everything up with the rum. The amount of sugar is only to be seen as a guideline, as everyone likes it differently.
The raspberry fire then has to brew for at least 6 weeks, the main thing is that it is cool. In between you should shake the bottle. After about 5 weeks you can taste whether it is sweet enough and possibly add more sugar.
The raspberries are ideal for a quark dessert, but be careful, they really are tough. The fire is great to give away as a gift, it goes down very well in a beautiful bottle with a label.
