Don’t Tell Me You’re Trying To Make Your Own Gin-Soaked Raisins

The Original Recipe

All of those lovely folks in the Cloud are telling you that if you dump a box of little, tiny sun-maid golden raisins in a pan and cover them with a pint of gin, you’ll magically have the pain-relieving golden raisins in gin in a couple weeks. Well to that.

While that may help some, they didn’t tell you everything–like selecting the right gin and raisins is important.

Ohhhhh yeah. That’s where we all started–from a rumored recipe out of the 20’s (prior century). Well…we’ve come a long way baby. 100 years can make a real difference.

Thank the lucky stars that someone saw the light and knew that most things perceived and created early in the previous century could be improved upon. We did it with cars, airplanes, nylons, summer shorts, the cell phone, and the microwave, so why not with the gin-soaked raisin.

It’s been done with the emergence of the DrunkenRaisin earlier in this 21st century and consistently improved since.

DrunkenRaisins 21st Century Recipe

Beginning with the choice Jumbo Golden Raisin (instead of a store-bought raisin to which you will note…there is a difference) and adding the long sought-after correct juniper berry influenced gin, we create a true marinating process in a sealed container with a great honey and imported cinnamon bark oil (Sri Lanka). We take 10 days to two weeks on each batch while agitating them to clean the sulfur dioxide from the surface of the raisin and permitting the honey and cinnamon infused gin to permeate the raisin’s skin. This impregnates the meat of the raisin, giving birth to the magic of one of the best anti-inflammatory foods available.

When everything is finally ready, we drain our DrunkenRaisins in a large caldron and warm them to draw down some of the alcohol content (not critical to the effectiveness of the anti-inflammatory values). When the golden raisins in gin are ready, we vacuum pack them (important to the continuation of a constant marinating process) and ship the super fresh DrunkenRaisins to you within 2 to 3 days. We pull down a new batch 2 or 3 times a week to guarantee freshness. With our vacuum packaging, the shelf life is guaranteed over 90 days on your countertop at room temperature. The other 1 lb. bags you ordered and put in the refrigerator will be delicious and fresh 6 to 9 months later. Bring them out 1 lb. at a time and place them in the glass container (with a top) on your countertop making them accessible to your toothpick, chopsticks, or spoon whenever you want some. It’s food. You’re not in any danger of overindulgence… but you may be vulnerable to the best arthritis relief.

Why we say “DON’T MAKE THE OLD FASHION GIN-SOAKED RAISIN.” If you can find a jumbo golden raisin it’ll cost you $8.99/lb. If you find the right gin, a pint of it will cost you about $8.00. At this point, you already have $16.99 invested, and you still don’t have the additional pain relief offered by the honey and cinnamon bark oil. You’re also 2 weeks away from having a mixed combination that you will call gin-soaked raisins and taste a lot like gin.

SMART BET. Order DrunkenRaisins in the 3 lb. quantity (or more for even less cost) at only $21.95/lb. You’ll get a $6.00 discount when you type 9NEWS.COM as the coupon code at checkout. Don’t buy only 1 lb. of our raisins for arthritis because it’s just a taste test–you save a lot of money with slightly larger order. Plus, you have a better chance of enjoying all of the pain relief benefits of this special food (3 lbs. = 2 ½ mo. supply).
