Homemade Spiced Rum (Knorr) Recipe From Paul Knorr: A few days ago, I posted a question in rec.food.drink regarding Spiced Rum, asking how it was made. Jennifer Harris answered, saying that it was basically just rum with vanilla extract. So I set out to test this, and I think that I now have a good recipe for spiced rum (much cheaper than buying it). * 2 cups light (white) rum (I use Bacardi LightŪ) * 2 tsp pure vanilla extract * 1/2 cup sugar syrup (Meilach's 2:1 ratio)(~1/3 cup sugar) Place in bottle and shake. Requires no aging although it may need to settle after shaking.
