Steps for preparing mango and passion fruit rum
The magic happens by following these steps:
1. Preparation of the mango
Start by peeling and cutting the mango. Feel free to trim it to fit the jar.
2. Preparation of passion fruit
Cut the passion fruits in half and extract the pulp. If desired, cut them into quarters to make them easier to place in the jar.
3. Split the vanilla pod
Split the vanilla pod lengthwise to release its aromas.
4. Adding the rum
Fill the jar with Charette 49-proof rum. Close the jar and shake gently.
5. Assembly in the jar and maceration
First, place the vanilla in the jar, then add the mango and passion fruit pulp. You can add a little sugar, but in moderation, as the fruit is already sweet. Let the mixture macerate for at least two months. Taste and adjust the sugar if necessary. A three-month maceration period is ideal for a perfect blend of flavors.
