Gin-Soaked Raisins (Purported Arthritis Remedy) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup golden raisin (do not substitute for any other dried fruit or color of raisin)
1 -2 cup gin (enough to just cover the raisins)

Preparation

Before you get started, make sure to read the label of your gin to check that it is made from or includes juniper berries. This is critical!
Put the raisins in a shallow glass container and pour enough gin into it to just cover the raisins.
Cover the container with cheesecloth and allow to stand until the raisins absorb the gin and the remaining liquid evaporates, about one week.
Each day, eat NINE of these \"drunken\" raisins.
I have read that it might take six weeks for this remedy to work, so be patient.
