WEST GERMAN RUMTOPF ( RUM AND FRUIT ) STORAGE POT
This pot was made for the storage of fruit soaked in rum for which there are many recipes. It is a delicious way to enjoy Summer fruit in Winter and is traditionally part of the German Christmas celebrations. Soft Summer fruit is added every so often such as strawberries, cherries, raspberries, peaches, apricots, pineapple etc plus sugar. No cooking involved. Just a good quality dark rum to cover and preserve the fruit! The fruity liqueur can be drunk in glasses and the fruit and liqueur is excellent over vanilla ice-cream. A cocktail can be made by adding it to champagne. Great on Christmas morning. This would make a great gift. It looks good on display and can be used for storing other foodstuffs. This comes in a white glaze with vertical ribs and both sides are labelled RUMTOPF. One side has a bunch of grapes in an oval with a rope surround and the other side with peaches all in a light shade of grey. The lid is adorned with a bunch of grapes with a short stalk handle. There are two handles on the body for easy lifting. Marked to the base 801 - 28 (denoting the shape and height) W. GERMANY.
