Happy Hooking!

PS In place of Myer 's Dark Rum, try my brother-in-law 's new Jamaican rum (Blackwell Rum) if you can find it. http://www.blackwellrum.com/ It 's wicked good.

Rumtopf (cruising version)

Surplus fruit
White Spirit (Gin, Vodka, Bacardi)

Keep a large tightly covered jar?container in a dark place. (I use an empty 2 ltr Cola Bottle). Whenever there is surplus or old fruit chop it up roughly and add to the bottle. Sprinkle a little sugar over the top and just cover with white spirit. Keep doing this until container is full and leave for as long as possible (3 - 6 weeks).

When you arrive at your destination drain liquid into a glass and congratulate yourself on having made it.

Cut very thin slices of peel (no pith) from the lemons, boil with the sugar and water for 1 minute, stirring. Cool. Meanwhile, squeeze and strain the juice from the lemons and then strain the sweetened lemon water over the juice. Chill then serve
