no problem i hope you find someone who's tried it!

I've never soaked fruit in any type of booze.
I wanted to get some watermelon wine and throw some watermelon in it this year but I forgot about it. lol.


Rum goes really good with coffee. Does that help?

I generally ask around too

I don't know anyone to ask anything. lol.

Me neither! What's the idea of it, apart from conserving it that way? How do you eat/serve it? Just as it is or maybe as a side to cake or ice cream?

I think it'd be in a dessert kind of thing really or a lush dinner

Bunch of ways. It's kind of like drying the fruit; you're just storing it up for later, in a way that doesn't rely on the electricity not going out (I love freezing, but you can't count on things staying frozen, so...)

You could eat them plain, but you can cook with them later just like you could cook with the fresh fruit. (although you don't want to do, say, a whole fruit salad of alcohol-preserved fruit! More for things like chopping up and sprinkling into a sweet filling, or baking into puddings, or sliced thin and added as an accent to salads, or dust with spices and put into the center of dumplings or popovers or rolled into the middle of dinner rolls, or whatever else you're doing that you want to add some flavor to)

And of course, once you've used the fruit you also then have the fruit-flavored alcohol they were preserved in, which is its own thing.

Ah, interesting! Cooking with them makes sense, since then some of the alcohol will cook away as well :)
I don't usually like alcohol in desserts, so I figure I would not like eating them plain at all.
