Cliff (Tenthunter) and I have been talking about making maple syrup out of fenugreek seeds. So I tried it and yes it really does make a good maple syrup.
But now we started talking about making maple extract with fenugreek seeds and rum.
So, being one to try a lot of things I jumped in and grabed Kimmie's rum
and some seeds and started to mix them!
Now, the recipe calls for 2 oz of seeds and 4 oz of rum then a 1 Tbl of vanilla extract at the end of the two weeks. It says you are to grind them up to a powder then mix in the rum but since my grinder has been used for peppers I decided just to put them in whole then mix everyday for 3 to 4 weeks.
I started 1-19-14 and will open on my birthday 2-20 to see how it did
Will add pictures as I go so you can see the change in color
