Phase 4.

Apply alcoholic wets to your dry cake and let them soak in.

Repeat every week.

(BBC says every two weeks. I say shut up.)

Phase 0.5

Soak a load of dried fruit in alcohol for a few weeks (I used sultanas and the Tesco Dried Fruit mix, plus the last 1/4 or so of a bottle of Mount Gay XO).

Phase 1.

Into a pan with butter, sugar and more rum (I used the rum out of the jar that was left. Boil, simmer, then let cool.
