Grandma would have made all different kinds of treats, but only she and Grandpa had the Boerenjongens. Grandma ate the raisins and Grandpa sipped the brandy. Grandkids were restricted to anise candy or bobblers, Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07926810529098237192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144846758981844946.post-75361352404992867492016-02-02T16:06:13.661-07:002016-02-02T16:06:13.661-07:00Ms. Holten,

I found a FaceBook page, Stuff Dutch People Like, (https://www.facebook.com/stuffdutchpeoplelike/?fref=nf), and asked about it. Despite my horrendous spelling and thinking it was made with cherries a helpful person directed me to this page. I wish my mom was still here to taste it but I know my Dutch relatives will love having a taste of their ancestor's concoction. Thank you so much. <br />I have a few questions. Could this be made with an equivalent quantity of other dried fruit (cranberries, cherries...)? My mom always referred to Boerenjongens as a beverage. Do folks drink the fluid? How long will it keep? Do you start from scratch every time or do you add to what is left from the last batch? <br />I am looking forward to trying more of your Dutch recipes. Once again Thank You<br />Sincerely Kay Kaminga (my dad took an m out of Kamminga because he thought his name was too long - smile)<br /><br /> Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17881812002441914490noreply@blogger.com
