Инструкции
- Note: Don't throw away the syrup or possibly fruit juice from the canned peaches and pineapples (use it in this recipe along with the fruit).
- In a 1-gallon glass jar with wide mouth and lid, put together the peaches, pineapple, maraschino cherries, sugar and yeast (make sure the yeast is well mixed with syrup). Stir two times the first day. Stir once a day afterwards. Keep loosely covered with cloth and store at room temperature.After the starter has been going for two weeks, add in 1/2 cup each of crushed pineapples and peaches, along with their syrup.
- Wait several days, stirring daily, then drain 2 cups of mixed fruit and use to make cake as directed in the cake recipe. Reserve 1 1/2 cups starter juice and leave in glass gallon jar. Count this as Day 1, and begin the process for renewing starter and making cake.
- To 1 1/2 cups starter juice, add in 2 1/2 cups sugar and 1 32 oz can of peaches, including syrup. Keep loosely covered with cloth and stir daily. Keep at room temperature.
- Add in 2 1/2 cups granulated sugar and pineapple chunks along with their juice. Keep loosely covered with cloth and stir daily. Keep at room temperature.
- Add in 2 1/2 cups granulated sugar and liquid removed and halved maraschino cherries. Keep loosely covered with cloth and keep at room temperature. Stir daily.
- Drain fruit, reserving 1 1/2 cups juice for renewing starter. Use liquid removed fruit to make 3 Amish Friendship Fruit Cakes, give excess starter juice to friends, and start a new batch of fruit. Repeat this process.NOTE: At the end of 30 days, you will have sufficient extra starter juice to share with your friends. Give away 1 1/2 cups of starter to each, and keep 1 1/2 cups for yourself.
- At the end of 30 days, there will be sufficient fruit to use 1 3/4 cups fruit in each cake.
- Amish Fruitcakes freeze well.
- If you do not bake all three of the cakes on the same day, stir the remaining fruit mix every day till it has been used. Store under refrigeration till ready for use, or possibly drain and freeze.
