I need the recipe for a friendship fruitcake starter.?

Answer 1

FRIENDSHIP FRUITCAKE STARTER

If you haven't "inherited" the starter, take:

3/4 c. canned peaches in heavy syrup, use only 1/2 c. of the juice and cut peaches in sm. pieces
3/4 c. pineapple chunks, use 1/2 c. of the juice and cut pineapple in 2
6 Maraschino cherries, cut in half (no juice)
1 1/2 c. sugar
1 pkg. dry yeast or quick rise yeast

Place above mixture in glass jar with loose cover in a fairly warm place. Stir several times the first day, then once a day for two weeks. At the end of the two weeks you will have the "starter" for the 30 day fruitcake. BEGIN WITH DAY 1, and continue for the 30 days as directed for 30 day FRIENDSHIP FRUITCAKE.

FRIENDSHIP FRUITCAKE (WITHOUT BRANDY):

Makes 3 Bundt pan cakes or 15 (1 pound loaves).

With a "Starter" follow these directions. (A starter is fruit liquid after 30 day processing period.)

DAY 1:

Pour one pint (2 cups or less) starter into a glass wide mouthed gallon jar. (Sun Tea jar works well.) Add one large can sliced peaches and juice. Cut each slice of peach into four pieces. Add 2 1/2 cups of sugar and stir every day for 10 days. Cover jar with a saucer and leave sitting out for ten days at room temperature. DO NOT COVER AIR-TIGHT. DO NOT REFRIGERATE.

DAY 10:

Add one 16 ounce can of chunk pineapple and juice. Cut chunks in half. Add 2 1/2 cups of sugar. Stir every day for ten days. Color will change and fruit will foam.

DAY 20:

Add two small jars of Maraschino cherries, cut in half; DO NOT ADD JUICE. Add 2 1/2 cups of sugar. Stir every day for the final ten days.

DAY 31:

You are ready to make your cakes. You need:

3 boxes Duncan Hines butter recipe cake mix (for three mixings)
3 boxes instant vanilla pudding mix
1 doz. eggs
1 (16 oz.) bottle Wesson oil (2/3 c. each for three mixings), (you may substitute)
1 (16 oz.) bottle Wesson oil (2/3 c. each for three mixings) (you may substitute)
3 c. raisins (white or dark)
3 c. walnuts
3 c. pecans
3 c. coconut
(You may add red and green cherries, if you desire)

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Drain fruit in colander over large bowl for about 15 minutes or until fruit has stopped draining. This juice is your NEW STARTERS. Fruit cake must be started within three days after receiving new starters.

3 MIXINGS: Pour one box cake mix, 1 box pudding mix, 4 eggs, 2/3 cups oil and 1 1/2 cups of fruit into a bowl and stir with spoon (DO NOT USE A MIXER). Add 1 cup raisins, 1 cup chopped pecans, 1 cup chopped walnuts, 1 cup coconut, and mix thoroughly with wooden spoon. Grease and flour either Bundt pan or your loaf pans (I prefer four 2 pound loaf pans for each mix.) Bake Bundt pan or tube pan for approximately 1 1/2 hours. Loaf pans take from 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes-until nicely brown depending on your oven. CAKES CAN BE FROZEN. They are easier to cut in slices, if cut when frozen. Thaws quickly.

Answer 2

Cooking is all approximately experimenting and having exciting. Fruitcake is merely cake with a splash fruit in it. Make a customary Yellow cake or Spice cake and upload your popular dried or candied fruit. you additionally can use the boxed tarts in case you unquestionably need to shortcut. merely attempt to not make the batter too dense or you could have an exceedingly confusing and dry cake.

Answer 3

FRIENDSHIP FRUIT CAKE STARTER
1 c canned peaches, drained and cut into pieces
1 c pineapple tidbits, drained
10 maraschino cherries, cut in half
2 c sugar
1 pkg. active dry yeast
glass jar, gallon-size

Combine all ingredients and place in a gallon glass jar; cover loosely. Using a wooden spoon, stir several times the first day. From then on, stir once a day with the wooden spoon. Do not refrigerate. At the end of 2 weeks, the starter will have fermented enough to make Friendship Fruit Sauce.

Notes:
-Fruits packed in heavy syrup give the best results.
-The process takes 30 days to get the fruit ready to bake the cakes.

FRIENDSHIP FRUIT SAUCE

1st Day - To 2 cups of friendship fruit starter, add 2- 1/2 cups sugar and 1 (29oz) can sliced peaches, cut up, with juice. Stir until sugar dissolves. Then stir once a day for 10 days.

10th Day - Add 1 (20 oz) can pineapple with juice. (May use crushed, chunks or tidbits) and 2 cups of sugar. Continue to stir once daily for 10 days.

20th Day - Add 1 large can fruit cocktail, 1-10 oz jar maraschino cherries, cut in half and 1 cup sugar. Continue to stir once daily for 10 days.

30th Day - Your fruit is ready to bake 3 cakes. For each cake, measure amount of drained fruit, reserving juice, which is enough to pass on to 2 friends, and keep 1 starter for yourself for later use. The starter keeps indefinitely without refrigeration.

FRIENDSHIP FRUIT CAKE
1 box yellow cake mix (for variety use lemon, pineapple or cherry)
1 small box instant vanilla pudding mix
4 eggs
2/3 cup oil
1 1/2 cups drained fruit from starter
1 cup chopped nuts

Combine cake mix, vanilla pudding mix; add oil and 1 egg. Using electric mixer, beat, adding eggs one at a time and beating well after each addition. Remove beaters. Fold in fruit, nuts and coconut. Bake in a greased and floured tube and bundt pan at 350 F. for 55 to 60 minutes. Cool for 10-15 minutes and then remove from pan. You can bake in small pans and wrap in Christmas paper for delightful gifts from your kitchen.
