The following facts came from The Fact Site.
20th October – Brandied Fruit Day.
To make brandied fruit you have to use a pound of fruit such as raisins or sultanas and then mix them together with sugar, orange peel, vanilla, water, a teaspoon of cinnamon and 80 proof brandy… that’s an alcohol content of 40%.
Every recipe I have found for it calls for at least 80 proof brandy.
Mix everything together and then leave in a jar for up to three weeks.
I’m not going to recommend that you actually eat the brandied fruit, because it’ll get you just… so drunk.
The practice of brandying fruit was utilized by people trying to keep it fresh, because as long as the fruit is submerged in alcohol it’s safe (playing fast and loose with the term safe here) to eat.
