Platter of Rummy Goodness |
Recipe adapted by Robin
What do you bring to a luau-themed birthday party for a 60
year old who has everything and loves rum? More rum! And some rum
raisin muffins for the potluck. Luckily my friend Cynthia shared a recipe for persimmon
muffins earlier this year, and I still had persimmons in the freezer. And rum. I remembered what cousin Jon’s great grandma Ellen said about her Bourbon
Pecan Cake: soak the raisins in the rum so the alcohol won’t bake off as
much. This also concentrates the rummy flavor in each plumped-up raisin. I also cut down the sugar and tweaked a few
quantities to accommodate the extra liquid.
