Rum Raisin Cranberry Parfait

By Lorraine

Rum Raisin Cranberry Topping is the perfect balance between tart and sweet. Spoon over ice cream, yogurt or pound cake for a tasty treat.
After the heavy desserts eaten through the holiday season, this mild yet tasty sauce makes a lovely ice-cream or yogurt parfait. Rum Raisin Cranberry Parfait is not tart like cranberry salsa or cranberry sauce yet it is not too sweet.

If you are looking to be good, substitute yogurt and sprinkle with granola or cereal.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1 12-ounce package Ocean Spray® Fresh or Frozen Cranberries
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts (I used peanuts but use whatever you like)
  • 3 tablespoons dark rum

DIRECTIONS

Combine water and sugar in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Add cranberries; return to a boil. Gently boil cranberries for 10 minutes without stirring.

Purée the mixture until smooth and drizzle over your favorite treat.

Makes about 3 cups.

RECIPE NOTES:

  • I made just half the recipe because that is all the cranberries I had.
  • I thought it unusual that the raisins and nut were pureed all together with the cranberries but I guess that is what creates the final texture and taste.
  • I added a little water at the end to thin a bit I think adding a little extra water when cooking the mixture would accomplish the same thing.
  • I could hardly discern the taste of rum so, if it is important to you and you aren’t having for breakfast, you might want to add more.
