Subject: fruitcake recipe
Dear Uncle Phaedrus,
I am visiting in the Philippines and wanted to make a fruitcake for my
mother-in-law. Of course, I didn't bring my recipe with me.
The recipe is from one of the Silver Palate books--either the first or the
Good Times. I know that the word fruitcake does not appear in the name of
the recipe, but the recipe can be found under fruitcake in the index. The
name of the recipe might be St. Nicholas Cake. Ingredients include mostly
dates (8 cups?)and walnuts (8 cups?)and a small amt. of dried cherries, as
well as whole wheat flour, butter (3/4 c.?), 6 eggs, brown sugar, vanilla
and cream. There might be a few more ingredients, but I can't remember
them.
I hope this is enough information.
Thanks for your help,
Mary
Hello Mary,
We were very lucky to have found this one. See below.

Preparation Method
-------- ------------ ---------------------
8 cups pitted whole dates (about 3 lbs)
8 cups walnut halves (about 1-3/4 lbs)
1 cup candied cherries (about 6 oz)
1/2 cup unbleached all- purpose flour
6 eggs -- separated,room temp
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup dark brown sugar -- packed
6 tablespoons unsalted butter -- melted
4 1/2 tablespoons heavy or whipping cream
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
2 teaspoons grated orange zest
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1. Preheat oven to 325 deg. Butter three 9 x 5 x 3 in. loaf pans.
Line the bottoms and sides with foil and butter the foil generously.
2.Combine the dates, walnuts, and cherries in a very lg bowl or
roasting pan. Sprinkle with the all-purpose flour and toss to coat
well, separating the dates with your fingers.
3. Combine the egg yolks and the sugars in a lg mixer bowl; beat
until light and fluffy. Beat in the butter, cream, vanilla, orange
zest, and almond extract. Mix the whole-wheat flour and baking powder
thoroughly in a small bowl; stir into the batter with a wooden spoon.
4. Beat the egg whites in another lg mixer bowl just until the peaks
are stiff. Fold a quarter of the egg whites into the batter to lighten
it, and then fold in the remaining. Pour the batter over the date mixture
and mix well to coat all the fruit and nuts. Spoon into the prepared pans,
dividing evenly and mounding the batter slightly in the pans.
5. Cover the pans with buttered aluminum foil. Bake 60 min.; remove the
foil from the tops. Continue baking until the centers are firm to the touch,
or until a toothpick comes out clean.
6. Cool the cakes in the pans on wire racks. Remove from the pans; wrap
tightly in aluminum foil. The fruitcake can be eaten the next day or stored
in a cool place up to 2 weeks.

okay, i've been looking for htis for a while now. my mother used
to make cranberry pumpkin bread in the fall using fresh cranberries
and (i believe) libby's canned pumpkin. she may have gotten the
recipe from Libby's but i really don't know. i do know that it was
a dark color and that it contained baking soda because i would always
bite into unmixed lumps of it (ick!). other than the baking soda,
this was my favorite of all my mom's recipes, and unfortunately she
passed when i was pretty young so i can't ask her. can you help?
thanks

Hello -
My co-worker and I have been talking about Whip N Chill, which was made
about 20 years ago. Do you have a recipe to make it, since it has been
taken off the market because none of the ingredients were natural??
Thanks
Stacy
Hello Stacy,
I couldn't find any copycat recipes for Whip 'N Chill. The ingredients were
things like:
Propylene glycol monostearate, sodium casienate, acetylated monoglycerides,
cellulose gum, hydroxylated lecithin, sodium silico aluminate and sodium
stearoyl-2-lactylate. I think about half of those are also listed on our
shampoo bottle.
The other thing that I found is that it may still be sold in Canada. Kraft
still lists it on their Canadian product lists. I dunno where you live,
but you might find some if you can drive across the border into Canada and
visit a supermarket.

what is salt Peter
Hello Lizzy,
It's more correctly "saltpetre", and it's also known as "nitre". Common saltpetre is a chemical salt called potassium nitrate.
It's found in nature, sometimes in large quantities in underground deposits. Its main use has long been in the making of gunpowder.
It's also used in glass-making and in fertilizer. In past times, it has been used as a medicine to treat various illnesses,
but it's not an effective medicine. In fact, it's toxic in large quantities, due to it's effect as a heart depressant.
