Steeped Christmas Fruits


So maybe I made this a month too late, but does it really matter? No. This is of course the simplest recipe in the entire book I think. All you do is pour sherry over dried fruits. I mean if you can open a package you can make this. But I gotta tell ya - it's not the greatest. Maybe it's me, I'm not the kind of girl to eat a scoop of ice cream. I don't find ice cream to be that rewarding of a treat. At least not North American ice cream. Really what we call ice cream in this continent is effing pitiful. When I was went to Europe for the first time was when I learned what ice cream can be, and let me tell you, the difference is like eating cardboard compared to eating fresh baked bread. We here are eating the ice cream equivalent of cardboard. So I'm not too fussed about this. However now I have this jar full of booze berries and not wanting to eat a load of ice cream I wondered to myself how can I put these to good use? Then I had a brain wave. Breakfast needs more booze in it. I think the perfect way to finish these berries off is by adding them to my breakfast oatmeal. I love dried berries in my oatmeal so why shouldn't I love booze berries in my oatmeal??? I mean it's just logic isn't it? I haven't tried these berries in oatmeal yet, but I've got a good feeling about it. I'm confident I've just come up with the perfect breakfast. Healthy and alcoholic!
