Coming right up!!!






I might have overdone it on the brandy a bit. I'm toasting it int he toaster oven - I'm just afraid the whole thing will burst into flames...

I like your style with the brandy!!

I just finished my Monk Fruitcake and am washing it down with hot chocolate and Yukon Jack....

I have never seen that fluff on Cedar trees either, Cottonwoods and Popple have it. I have some 300-350 year old cedars at my cabin and they never drop anything.  They are huge trees.

Mater of fact some of them may be over 350 years. maybe even older than the WWD.




BTW Banty Minnesota is a rolling pin free state.

Not now it isn't.

Well, we've got either an award winning Lenoir (from native Black Spanish grapes - the same variety that was used as root stock to save France's entire wine industry, by the way, as they are resistant to Pierce's disease) - or we have an award winning Reserve Port, also from Black Spanish grapes. I drive to the winery to get it directly. Yummy stuff (I haven't really liked the other Texas wines I've tried, but these are outstanding - the red tastes like a big fruity Cabernet to me)




What'll it be? (Or I also have a rum and brandy soaked fruitcake that's been ripening for a month as well...)

OMG NOT that fruitcake again!!!

They're not real cedar trees. It's mountain cedar, which is a type of juniper. It's actually a sort of pest tree for hill country landowners, because the wood is useless, but the trees/shrubs soak up all the water.

Thanks! It seems like it's a silly thing, and then you're in the middle of it, along with everyone else, and suddenly, no one can get anything done and everyone's eyes are red and streaming... We have a front coming in - I was actually out there in shorts covering up the lettuce for the freeze tonight (weather SOOOOOO weird). Hoping it'll blow it all away.

Quote: I'm thinking I REALLY overdid with with the brandy - it's too wet and not holding together.

But it's SOOOOOOOO delicious!!!!!

I still have 3 other mini loaves - I'll continue to age them.

Please note the difference - no radioactive fruits in mine. The stuff that looks like that is NASTY, and I wouldn't eat it either.

The recipe I used (from Alton Brown) is called "Free Range Fruitcake". No artificial anything. Old style.

That isn't fruitcake couldn't gag that stuff down.

 

[Sally Sunshine]

Hmmmmm I see your point Kristin

 

[Fire Ant Farm]

OMG, it's so good, but SOOOOOO high octane!

I think it should probably be served like this instead:
