Whiskeyed Fruit / Fruity Whiskey

Whiskeyed Fruit / Fruity Whiskey

- Whiskey (cheap is fine, and encouraged because the whiskey will take on the fruit flavor)

- Fruit (I did prunes, and that was delicious)

1. Put a desired about of whiskey is a jar.

2. Put fruit into jar until it reaches the top of the whiskey level.

3. Cover and let sit out.

4. Wait at least 24 hours.  You can serve immediately, but the exchange of flavor between the fruit and whiskey will not have gone very far so you'll basically have whiskey wetted fruit.

5. Serve

This one is a highly variable recipe as you can use any fruit you desire.  I used prunes as I mentioned above and what was nice about it was that I got both whiskeyed fruit, and the whiskey itself because syrupy with the flavor of the prunes.  It was a delicious two-fer.  Next time I'm thinking of doing dried cherries.  Essentially putting the dried fruit in the alcohol remoistens them, so they are great for serving as garnishes or as snacks, or as sipping liqueur.
