Rumtopf a Deliciously Simple Boozy Fruit Preserving Compote

[JustJohn or JJ]

If you have never heard of a Rumtopf it's an incredibly easy way of preserving summer fruits to eat all through the winter months. All you need is fruit, sugar and spirits (rum, whisky or brandy; whatever tastes best to you).

We grow our own food on our smallholding and endeavour to be self-sufficient, but this recipe can be duplicated with fruit you buy either fresh or frozen.

I must say, you are a most endearing person so bring to light, Rumtopf. I grew up in a Frisian Danish house and we made this topping our selves, our name for this is," Romkrukke {Rumpot}. Until this moment, I was not aware yours is also a German house. {It so appears our world is much closer than we thought}.
