Rum Ball Filling

Rum ball filling is an excellent way to recycle good leftover pastries, end pieces, scraps, and other preparations, just as vegetable trimmings, bones, and some types of leftover sauces go into the stockpot in the hot kitchen. Throughout the day in a professional bakeshop, sponge cakes are trimmed to use for decorated cakes, perfectly good cookies and meringues break and cannot be sold, the ends of assembled pastry strips are trimmed before they can be sliced into neat portions, and so on.
