Friendship Fruitcake Starter
Servings: 1
Directions
- If you have not inherited the starter, you can make your own. Cut peaches and pineapple into small chunks. Place all ingredients in a glass jar or possibly crock with a loose cover or possibly plate on top, in a fairly hot place Don't Chill. Stir several times the first day, then once a day for two weeks (14 days). Syrup may bubble from the fermentation but, do not be alarmed it is doing what it is suppose to do. Just make sure it is covered from flies.
- The fermented liquid is what is used in recipes.
- This recipe should produce three c. of starter liquid.
- This is the "starter" for the Amish 30 day Fruitcake. See category "Cakes and Frostings" for recipe.
