quote HammerII: "I just got my hands on a real fruit cake the other day. dark and heavy with a slight wiff of rum. Dried fruits and nuts and no atomic colored stuff in sight. A thick slice in the cast iron warmed and slightly toasted in the cast iron pan with a scoop of mascarpone cheese on top that I made last night with egg nog or something like Canadian Mist...???? I wish you were my neighbor dr bob |

Fruit Cake Cookies revisited.... Decided to make a another batch today. This is the link to the original recipe Fruitcake Cookie recipe Note: misspelling for cloves/nutmeg...should be tspn My first batch seemed to have too much fruit and on the tacky side. This batch I added an additional 3/4 cup flour. used only 1/2# of candied fruit I didn't have any chopped dates so I used craisons instead also no white wine but did have blackberry flavored wine. Hey...they turned out pretty decent. might even give some away to some unsuspecting person. dr bob |
