One can't waste them so if they were mine I would put them in a jar
with brandy/rum or your choice and let them steep until October. You
could always use the rest of the juice in the cakes. Worth a try
anyway.

When I made them, I always soaked the fruit in brandy and sherry overnight.

Remember the radio programme "Any Questions"? One of them was on
defining friendship.
An elderly cousin of mine* wrote in afterwards: "When you visit a real
friend, he opens a new bottle of rum - and throws the cork on the fire!"

Some might say friends don't let friends drink like that.

I had a short talk about drinking with my doctor a few years ago. He
said that he never drinks alone. When he goes out he has no more than
two drinks. If a friend comes by they finish the bottle. As I get older
my tolerance for alcohol is dropping. I feel the effects faster and the
aftereffects longer.
