duncansworldblog

Christmas Fruitcake Recipe By:Karen Uffelman “It’s a shame that fruitcake as a species gets such a bad rap. With its two key ingredients–rum and butter–it ought to be a hit.

It has become a favorite of my friends and family around the holidays (even the skeptical ones), and is delicious by itself, or covered with a layer of almond paste.” Ingredients 1/8 cup chopped dried cherries 1/8 cup chopped dried mango … Continue reading Christmas Fruitcake

Irish Barmbrack

Irish Barmbrack Recipe By:Brooke Elizabeth “Barmbrack is a traditional Irish cake eaten on holidays.
