Fruitcakes
Nov. 17th, 2006 10:33 pmI 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.
