^ What is that stuff then? Drink?

Take a big glass, or earthenware, jar and fill it with equal amounts of fruit and sugar. Then add brown rum untill the fruit is covered with about 2cm of rum. put the closed jar in a dark and cool place for about 6 weeks. You can keep adding fruit, sugar and rum as the seasons progress.
Makes for a great dessert with some whipped cream, it can hit you like hammer when consuming too much fruit though.

Probably true. I just heard some rumour months backwards that one guy i used to know in middle school lost his eyesight partially. But you never know what else those guys used...

EDIT: Sounds great tercio, maybe il try that for Christmas. Can it be made in a plastic jar?

[brokenclog]

I do believe folks that insist on distilling their own stuff should have some sort of safety code...I mean, you're boiling stuff that is flammable and even explosive when concentrated. lol

I made this salmari myself, actually ive never bought it ready from alko as they have to make it with less alcohol.

If you have liquorice and vodka where you are, you can make it by yourself. Though i could send you a bottle if you want.

Licorice/liquorice is lakritsi, salmiakki is actually "salty liquorice", "sal ammoniac" or for the chemically-minded, ammonium chloride. So, is it cool or not to drink your ethanol with ammonium chloride?

Is that legal elsewhere btw?

EDIT: Piirka, its cool. Im still standing right?

It was banned for a while, because it blocks the taste of alcohol so it was feared youngsters would pop their livers.

Don't know, my grandfather told me to only use a glass or earthenware jar (3 litre minimum).
If you decide to make it remember to peel all fruit first.

Legal for home use over here.

What fruit do you use for that? Can berries be used?

Pro-tip on fermentation in a closed jar: Open the lid at least once a week.

"Your eyes are like sun and the supernova of Betelgeuse that will explode in 2012." Good?

You can basically use anything classified as fruit, just don't use over ripe fruit as that tends to spoil. And bananas tend to dissolve. As the year progresses you can keep adding the seasons fruit.

I look into your beautiful eyes
Do I see the truth or lies?
I look into your beautiful eyes
Are they real or in disguized?
I look into your beautiful eyes
Are they innocent or wise?
I look into your beautiful eyes
And ask myself many why's?
I am lost in your beautiful eyes
