----- Original Message ----- From: Sandi To: phaedrus Sent: Monday, October 28, 2002 10:34 PM Subject: Mrs. Randy Merriman's fruit cake recipe I found the recipe in the St.Paul newspaper Sunday supplement section around 1960 or so. It has no egg yolks, no shortening. It had Brazil nuts wrapped in whole dates, glaced cherries and white wine. I always wrapped the fruit cakes in brandy cloths . I stored them in the refrigerator. The cake was beautiful when cut. It was also moist and didn't fall apart. It had no citron. I have been trying to find this recipe for a few years now, since I lost it. Sandi
Hello Sandi,
I could not locate a recipe with that name, nor could I locate a recipe with the exact ingredients you list. Sorry.
Below is another fruit cake recipe that you might like. It, too, has no eggs and no shortening.

Hello Whitacre,
The history of Gold Medal flour is the history of General Mills. They changed the name of their flour to that after it won a gold medal in 1880. See these websites:
I could not locate any White Satin Sugar recipes at all.
