Ingredients

• 100 grams Raisins
• 80 ml Dark rum
• 500 ml Water
• 200 grams Granulated sugar
• 50 ml Freshly squeezed lime juice
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 pinch Salt

Directions

Step 1

Place the raisins in a small bowl and pour 50 ml of the dark rum over them. Stir well, cover the bowl, and let the raisins soak for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight, until plump.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the water, granulated sugar, and salt. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has completely dissolved. This should take about 3-5 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the syrup to cool slightly.

Step 3

Once the syrup has cooled to room temperature, add the lime juice, the remaining 30 ml of dark rum, and vanilla extract. Stir well to combine.

Step 4

Drain the soaked raisins, reserving any leftover rum, and set them aside. Add the reserved rum (if any) into the sorbet mixture for extra flavor.

Step 5

Pour the sorbet mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.

Step 6

About 5 minutes before the sorbet finishes churning, add the soaked raisins to evenly distribute them throughout the sorbet.

Step 7

Transfer the churned sorbet to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.

Step 8

Scoop the sorbet into bowls or cones, garnish as desired, and serve immediately for a refreshing dessert.
