    I love this recipe! I use 1kg fruit and it also works well with either cold tea or orange juice instead of the chocolate milk – just for something different!

      How much liquid do you use with 1 kg of fruit? – I will be using orange juice.

      I love this recipe! Next time I’ll try with 500g of fruit to see what it will taste like 🙂

    I am going to give this a go with the milk and will do the 1kg of fruit. – thanks for the advice zoe. would be awesome with the cold tea or orange juice- do you still use the same amount of liquid when doing the 1kg of fruit?

    I use a tin of apricot nectar and I soak the fruit over night if I plan ahead.

    This sounds so easy! I didn’t realise they were so easy. 😛
    Now, sorry for my naivety but how long do they keep for? And is there a specific way I should keep it? (In a fabric bag or airtight container….?)
    How much Rum is a good amount? I don’t want the kids getting tipsy. hehe.
