MUM'S RUM BALLS
1 Pkt Arnott’s Milk Arrowroot Biscuits
1 tin condensed milk
3/4 cup mixed fruit
1 cup coconut
1/2 cup rum
2 Dessertspoons cocoa
Method:
1. Crush biscuits in food processor until fine
2. Add coconut & cocoa to biscuits and mix
3. In a separate bowl combine condensed milk, rum and mixed fruit
4. Add condensed milk mixture to dry ingredients and mix. Refrigerate for about 1 hour. Roll into balls and coat with extra coconut.
THE SECRET TO SUCCESSFUL RUM BALLS (TASTY!!!)
Soak the fruit in about ¼ cup rum for a week or more before making the rumballs…the rum flavour soaks into the fruit, making them more tasty.
THE HISTORY OF THE RUM BALLS
This recipe was given to mum by Mabs Betts…Mabs and Billy Betts owned the butcher shop at Boonah. Mabs and Billy had a real ‘soft spot’ for Glen…they used to make him treats and they called him ‘little Bill’. Mum has made rum balls every Christmas since I can remember. When we lived in Maryborough at the Shamrock Hotel, she used to store them in big glass Nescafe coffee bottles and hide them in the back of the Cold room. Mum was a ‘wake up’ to Wayne McGrath and Glen who used to find the bottle and sneakily eat them on their shifts…little did they know, the real bottle of rumballs was hidden in Cold room number 2 in her special hiding place!!!
