Gin Soaked Raisins

An online friend told me about something she heard to help with aches and pains .. Golden raisins soaked in Gin. I searched Google and found positive comments so I figure what the hey .. Give it a try. I bought a large box of Sunkist Golden Raisins (they MUST be golden) and a small bottle of inexpensive gin. But big enough to cover the raisins. I have a Food Saver with canisters.

Friday I dumped the box of raisins in a canister and poured gin over them then sucked the air out .. I read they need to soak for 1 week. Today, Saturday 1/2 the gin has been soaked up by the raisins. Next Friday my husband and I will eat 9 raisins a day. I've read 7 to 9 .. we will go for 9 raisins a day. I'll keep ya posted on how this works ... I'm hoping it works for my husband as he's feeling the aches and pains from all the years of squatting at work.
