In a New York Times article, Ms. Lucia DeClerk credit her 105 years of longevity to prayer and gin and raisins. “Eat nine raisins a day after sitting in the fridge for nine days.”

Ingredients

  • gin derived from juniper berries
  • golden raisins

Directions

Cover raisins with gin in a shallow dish. Cover with cheese cloth and allow to sit for seven to nine days in refridgerator.

Notes

This recipe is known as “drunken raisins” and has been promoted as a home remedy for arthritis. I don’t suffer from athritis, but I’m a big fan of both gin and raisins.
