OK, have tried to search and can't find anything helpful so apologies to those who can point me straight in the right direction.
Anyway, I have quite a lot of marrows this year. Am already doing stuffed marrow, marrow wine and hiding it in every meal I can. This has made me consider doing some marrow rum. I've found various recipes for it on the internet but has anybody actually tried making it? If so, can they answer the following questions?
1 - How big does the marrow have to be, it just keeps talking about large which is obviously open to interpretation
2 - Does it attract fruit flies?
3 - Most of the recipes I have seem to put the marrow (packed with sugar etc) in a pillowcase / bucket for a few weeks then move it all to a demijohn to ferment out. If this is the case, do you put all the marrow flesh in the demijohn and at what point do you strain it off?
4 - Does it actually taste nice?
Am sure there are other questions but that will do for now. Thanks.
