I don't know if anyone here " picked " fruits and berries in rum. I use a large mason jar ..... I think this one os about a gallon or so. Just add fruits and berries as the season progresses and keep it topped off with rum and a bit of brown cane sugar. Tases great over vanilla ice cream around Christmas when its ready ..... So far I have straw berries wild raspberries and blackberries in there .... got to get some cherries next

I have never heard of this and had to look it up-sounds interesting.

According to Wikipedia, it is indeed a German /Austrian tradition. I'm assuming clear rum as opposed to spiced?

I made a batch for the first time last year. Not rum, grain alcohol.
For some unexplained reason the result was very salty tasting.

Is that also called a Rumtopf ? This was decades ago, but I somewhat recall my Grandmother mentioning something called a Rumtopf (SP? ) , Her Mom brought the recipe with her ; when she came here from Germany Yes it is the same. Topf means pot in krautish.

For some unexplained reason the result was very salty tasting. OK, another year has gone by, and I stumbled upon my stash. Still way to salty, I did this stuff my own way, without a recipe, and had really only infused the fruit in the alcohol with no sugar. Throwing the stuff out would constitute alcohol abuse, so I decided to doctor it up a bit. Mixing it part for part with honey simple syrup took all the rough edges off. Having a nightcap right now.

Don't even need the rum.Just the jar. Keeps berries fresher longer just keeping them in a mason jar in the fridge.
