Fruitcakes

[melchar]

I feel like I've been wrestling [my arms and shoulders are so sore]. Making fruitcakes = hard work.

But this recipe makes such a good fruitcake! Flour, spices, nuts, applesauce, dried fruit [nothing candied], brandy and a lot of stirring of the heavy batter. This makes 4 fruitcakes that, having been baked, are wrapped in cheesecloth, coaked in brandy and allowed to season for at least a week [although a month is better].

One will go to my mom [since she asked for one], another probably to Trey's mom.

Whew! Now will I do the honey cakes next? [another wonderful recipe lumped in as 'fruitcake'] ... Maybe on Monday.

Oh my, I have been fantasizing about making a fruitcake for years, but never got around to it making it a reality. I don't suppone you'd like to share your recipe? E-mail, dear.
