Barbadian Rum Punch

Karen Elizabeth's Note:

When the British conquered the island of Jamaica 200 years ago, they made friends with this liquor, distilled from sugar cane. Nowadays, rum is produced in all countries growing sugar cane between the tropic of Cancer and the tropic of Capricorn. Posted for ZWT5, taken from "Dine Around The World".

Very good indeed! The only thing I omitted was the papaya as I didn't have one. I used bourbon vanilla beans and I couldn't resist, I had to extract it. Loved the vanilla flavoring in this. We also enjoyed reading your intro on the history of rum. Thanks so much for sharing the recipe. :)

Oh BOY this was just delicious, the vanilla just lifts it into something special. I used Mount Gay rum which is about normal strength and it did pack a punch. Made for ZWT5 thanks for posting Karen
