Apricots in brandy
Boerenmeisjes are apricots steeped in brandy. They belong to the same Dutch tradition as boerenjongens, which are made with raisins: a jar on the table at a birthday or holiday, with a spoon alongside.
According to the producer, JanBax flavours its own with rock sugar, caramel and cinnamon. At nine percent, this is the lightest one on our shelf.
It is a small jar of twenty-eight centilitres. That also makes it a popular little gift.
