Anyone ever made a rumpot? I've been looking into getting one and adding summer fruits in etc, but don't know where I could buy one.

Share your rumpot experiences, tips, etc

Thanks, but I don't trust ordering glass offline, could get broken, i was thinking more of what kind of stores would sell them

I would imagine that the big department stores may sell them.Someone like John Lewis Partnership or House Of Frazer maybe.

Try the charity shops...... every shop seems to have one!
Probably because people don't know what to do with them.

I just bought a rumtopf and am wondering if I could use artificial sweetener instead of sugar.

Brand new with leaflets on car boot sale!

I'dve thought the sugar was acting as a preservative along with the alcohol - the alcohol alone may not be enough if it gets too diluted?

Thanks Shrike. I was thinking the same TBH just trying to make it a bit healthier for hubby.

My Rumtopf is now full to bursting, filled with strawberries, nectarines, grapes, plums, pears, cherries and pineapple. Covered with rum and sugar. It's hidden away where nobody will touch it and it won't get knocked over.

Something to look forward to at Xmas.

They're quite collectable now. I think mine might date from the 60s or 70s. Bought it on car boot sale and it still had original booklet inside and the print/pictures looks about that age anyway.

We tried the contents of our Rumtopf today for the first time. We had the fruit with a meringue and then fresh cream on top. Omg it was strong ..... I feel quite drowsy. It was delicious though.
