Dear Shahine,

The rum is not adding up... Are you supposed to use 1/2 cup all together, or 1/2 plus 1/4? 1/8th of which gets poured over the top or 1/2 cup gets poured over the top w/1/8th water?

Hey Elisha,

i will answer for Shahine since she did not answer.. you've probably already tried the recipe by now but in my experience the rum factor is to taste and by preference... use the rum to cover the raisins as they soak and then just pour the entire thing into the batter. if you do not wish to add liquor, then just use water to cover the raisins it wont affect the makeup of the recipe...

Shahine great recipe... i had forgotten all about the allspice in previous attempts.. and i didn't feel like leaving the house so i just used regular 2% milk instead of the evap and coconut mix.. i'm sure the combo is awesome tho...

This stuff is awesome. I have added my own flair to it by adding a couple of chopped apples and serving it with sauteed apples and pears.
