Although it originated from the Netherlands, the Cape of Good Hope (Cape Town, South Africa) has a unique way of making a recipe their very own. The Boerejongens and Kaapsche Jongens (here in the Cape) are made from Hanepoot grapes and raisins grown and sun-dried in the Western Cape Region as well as the Northern Cape, Upington Region. Often in the Kaapsche Jongens recipe, you’ll see that it can also be made with witblits (a clear spirit that has been distilled in South Africa for more than 200 years, mainly produced in the Western Cape, and known for the strong punch it delivers).
Boerejongens are made with raisins and are enjoyed after dinner as a drink, or served as a sauce on a hot winter’s baked dessert.
