* Exported from MasterCook * Southern Fruitcake Recipe By : Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Cakes Desserts Fruit Nuts Volume 3, Dec. '98 Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 4 cups Chopped Pecans 1 3/4 cups Chopped Candied Pineapple 1 1/2 cups Chopped Candied Peaches or Apricots 1 1/2 cups Golden Raisins (I used black) 2 cups all-purpose flour -- divided 1 cup Butter or Marg softened 1 cup packed brown sugar 5 eggs 1 cup peach or apricot nectar * 1/2 cup honey 1/4 cup milk 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon 3/4 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice This was in Taste of Home magazine. I really liked it. Especially since I can't buy the normal fruit you put in a fruit cake down here. The peaches and Pineapple we have. So I made it and it was wonderful. But I missed the Cherries. So after I followed the directions exactly I then went and poured some Cherry Liquor over the top, 2 tablespoons.
So the next time I make this I am going to leave out the peach nectar and use Cherry Liquor. If you have never made a home made fruit cake the difference between what you get in a store and one of these is phenomenal. Try it, the best part is they will stay fresh in the fridge for weeks and weeks. The ones you buy in a store are usually about 2 or 3 months old. Grease and flour two 9X5X3 loaf pans, Line the bottom with waxed paper, grease and flour the paper. Combine the pecans, pineapple, peaches, raisins, and 1/2 cup flour, set aside. In a mixing bowl cream the butter and sugar; add the eggs one at a time beating well after each addition. Add the half cup peach nectar, honey, and milk; beat well (mixture will appear curdled). Combine cinnamon, baking powder, salt, allspice, and remaining flour; add to creamed mixture and mix well. Pour into prepared dishes and bake at 325 for 1 -1/2 hour. (be careful mine were done in 75 minutes. When a tooth pick comes out clean they are done. Cool for 10 minutes. With a skewer poke holes in the crust, spoon remaining nectar (cherry Liquor) over the loaves. let stand for another 10 minutes then remove from the pan and let cool completely. Wrap tightly and store in a cool place. *I recommend using cherry Liquor for basting after they are baked and cooled, then every few days put a couple more tablespoons of liquor on the cakes, until they reach the flavor you like.

'98 Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 1 cup golden raisins or currants 1/3 cup rum or brandy 1 cup Hachiya persimmon pulp -- ripe only 2 teaspoons baking soda 1/2 cup unsalted butter -- (1 stick) 1 cup packed dark brown sugar 2 large eggs 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 2 tablespoons grated orange zest 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup coarsely grated walnuts or pecans Old-fashioned steamed pudding is winter food of the first order. Steamed pudding molds come in various shapes and designs and are not at all expensive. I like to make this pudding to give as a gift in the mold. This pudding is pretty durable and reheats nicely. It also freezes well. 1. Lightly whipped, unsweetened cream or vanilla bean ice cream, for garnish. 2. Mix raisins and rum; let sit for 2 hours to plump raisins. 3. Mix persimmon pulp and baking soda; stir into raisin mixture. 4. With mixer, beat butter and sugar together until fluffy. Beat in eggs, lemon juice and orange zest. Combine flour, cinnamon, ginger and salt; beat into butter mixture. Add persimmon mixture and walnuts; stir until well combined. 5. Spoon mixture into oiled 2-quart pudding mold (a coffee can with plastic lid works well, too). Cover tightly with lid or foil. Place in large kettle on a rack; pour boiling water around mold to come halfway up sides. Steam slowly over low heat for 2 hours. 6. Remove to cooling rack; let stand 15 minutes. Uncover; invert onto serving platter. Serve warm or at room temperature with lightly whipped and unsweetened cream or vanilla bean ice cream. Yield: 8 servings. 457cals, 16g fat (32% cff) Recipe by John Ash; Dec 1998 >MC by kitpath Posted to FareShare 12-98 by Pat Hanneman <kitpath@earthlink.net> HACHIYA is a large round fruit that must be fully ripe and very soft before it's eaten. Underripe, it is tart and puckery. It's usually shipped to market underripe but will ripen in a few days at room temperature in your home. Store ripe fruit in the freezer for later use. One of the simplest and best ways to eat them is to simply cut off the top of the frozen ripe persimmon and eat it with a spoon. It's a natural fresh-fruit sherbet or granita. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Nutr. Assoc. : 0 5471 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4446 4793 4680
