Coconut Rum Preserve


This is my modification to golden coconut rum conserve (#35886). I used craisins to give it a little different flavor. [addendum - i agree with the review below. I posted this before i had actually made it, when i was gathering recipes & ingredients. Since it so good, i may try this again, adding some pectin. Other suggestions welcome!]!
