    My Grandma used to make Bourbon Balls at Christmas time years ago . That was before my likker days , I was still just a beer guy . But they were a big hit my uncles and Grandpa . They all used to say how they'd get drunk on them ,, but I believe it was just because they were washing them down with the left over likker ..

    Hm. A suitcase of Foster's comes to mind. (Crown Royal is suitable for toilet flushing and little else.)

    So heads up. Im working with a new cooker that has gas ovens... no more convection oven like I'm used to so things might get a little tweaky as im trying to get used to it.

    Carrot cake starts with soaking dried morrelo cherries, barberries, lemon powder and dried orange peel in kraken spiced rum overnight.

    6FED0CA7-2E47-4F6A-8F23-C12716408DBD.
    Mix ingredients... (duck eggs!)
    91E5A228-F289-43FF-B410-B2B7BB42163D.
    In the tin...
    C8E06162-CFBA-4B24-9C30-932956EEEEB0.
    And cooling now
    63359E08-6F2A-4796-9B5B-701FA7E0A91E.

    And yes... ingredients are keto(ish. Assuming you don't eat a huge peice, since carrots are kinda high for carbs)

  13. One year my two brothers in law were helping mom make rum balls, which should be about the size of a gum ball. Well to shorten a long story, the more they rolled the more they "tested". By the time they finished the batch, those rum balls were the size of ping pong balls.
