  • Friendship Fruit Starter and Cake
    Friendship Fruit Starter And Cake Fruitcake is perhaps the most infamous of the holiday culinary traditions, and yet somehow the fruitcake tradition carries on. And that, my friends, is because not all fruitcake is bad; there is in fact good fruitcake out there. Fruitcake that’s moist and tender and, well, fruity. Take this Friendship Fruitcake for instance. You might remember it from years ago; its heyday was closer to the times of bell bottoms and bright daisy prints than cell phones and skinny jeans. You might know it as Brandied Friendship Fruit or Fermented Friendship Fruit and chances are your mom (or maybe just a younger you) once had a jar of the starter going on your kitchen counter. You see, this fruitcake is a little bit of a project. It takes seven weeks from start to finish – three weeks for the brandied starter and four more for the candied fruit – but we can promise it’s well worth it. It takes some forethought, but never more than a minute or two of effort on any given day, and the end result is fruit that’s still juicy and sweet and leagues above that crystally, dried-out stuff you might find in the grocery store. And it’s all about friendship. Reminiscent of a chain letter (kind of like the very popular Amish Friendship Bread), the process leaves you with three pints of brandied starter: two that you can pass on to friends, and one that you use to start the process all over again. In turn, your friends can then pass more starter on to their friends and the more people that make it, the more love and friendship gets passed on down the line.
