    Friendship Cake Starter


    Recipe Introduction
    Here is another great recipe which can be prepared and given as a present for the holidays. Don't confuse this cake with the Amish Friendship Bread. This yummy cake is based on a brandied fruit starter, not a conventional bread yeast-type starter.

    The cake takes approximately 30 days to prepare, once you have the starter fruit juice. If not, allow another 30 days to prepare the initial "starter".

    This is well worth the effort!

    This cake is made with a brandied fruit mixture of peaches, pineapple, fruit cocktail, cherries, and sugar. There are limitless variations (you can mix and match fruit to taste).

    The fruit starter can also be used as a topping for ice cream or pound cake. Enjoy!!

    -1 cup cubed pineapple (drained)
    -1 cup sugar
    -2 tablespoons brandy

    -Combine in a glass gallon jar.
    -Let set it set for two weeks.
    -Cover loosely with aluminum foil with a wooden spoon inserted through the foil to stir daily
