GIN-SOAKED RAISINS (PURPORTED ARTHRITIS REMEDY)



Gin-Soaked Raisins (Purported Arthritis Remedy) image

I'm posting this recipe because my FIL's second wife has had great success with it. Whether it's the placebo effect or whether it actually works, it has brought this dear woman, a former operating room nurse, some relief and she doesn't doubt its efficacy. Her comment to me was really interesting; she said that she didn't realize how much it was helping her until she wasn't able to have her drunken raisins during a vacation. By the end of three days without the raisins, her knees, which had been doing well, were swollen and very painful. Your mileage may vary. Researching the origins of the recipe, it was apparently first described by Paul Harvey in the 1990s. As with any home remedy, consult your doctor and use common sense when using this. Preparation time does not include the time that it takes for the gin to evaporate.

Yield 1 batch

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 cup golden raisin (do not substitute for any other dried fruit or color of raisin)
1 -2 cup gin (enough to just cover the raisins)

Steps:

  • Before you get started, make sure to read the label of your gin to check that it is made from or includes juniper berries. This is critical!
  • Put the raisins in a shallow glass container and pour enough gin into it to just cover the raisins.
  • Cover the container with cheesecloth and allow to stand until the raisins absorb the gin and the remaining liquid evaporates, about one week.
  • Each day, eat NINE of these "drunken" raisins.
  • I have read that it might take six weeks for this remedy to work, so be patient.

Categories     Other Non-Edibles

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 box(es) golden raisins
1 bottle(s) gin (must be distilled from juniper berries such as beefeater or gilbeys london dry gin)

Steps:

  • 1. Place golden raisins in a canning jar and fill with gin up to 1" over the raisins. Cover loosely with a non-metallic cover that will allow evaporation. Stir every day until you have raisins coated with a thick syrup, about one to four weeks depending on surrounding temperature and humidity. Always keep a batch ahead in the pantry. It is VERY important to use a quality gin that states on the bottle it has been distilled with juniper berries or extract.
  • 2. This remedy has been used to help reduce inflammation and pain from arthritis, fibromyalgia, diabetic neuropathy, etc. The recommended dosage has always been 9 raisins/day or one spoonful. After you begin to take the soaked raisins, you then may have to wait about 2 weeks for the full effect. But after that, the spoonful must be taken habitually on a daily basis. If you do not feel a reduction in discomfort, try taking 1 spoonful in the morning and 1 at night.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality raisins. Look for plump and juicy raisins that are free of blemishes or mold.
  • Use a good quality dark rum. A dark rum with a rich flavor will produce the best results.
  • Be patient. The longer the raisins soak in the rum, the more flavorful they will become. Try to let them soak for at least 24 hours, or even longer if you have the time.
  • Store the raisins in a cool, dark place. This will help them to retain their flavor and freshness.
  • Use the raisins in a variety of recipes. Drunken raisins can be used in cakes, cookies, pies, ice cream, and more. They also make a great addition to trail mix or yogurt.

Conclusion:

Drunken raisins are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed in many different ways. They are easy to make and can be stored for up to a month. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give drunken raisins a try. You won't be disappointed!
