Instructions for Brandied Fruit Starter

THIS STARTER CAN BE USED TO BAKE FRIENDSHIP CAKES OR USE WITH OTHER DESSERTS.

3. At the end of 3 weeks, there should be at least 3 cups of brandied fruit. This is enough to cook 3 cakes.

Always leave 1 cup of brandied fruit starter in the jar.

Step 1: Add a can of peaches and 1 cup of sugar.

Let this stand in the jar for 2 weeks, stir occasionally.

Step 2: At the end of 2 weeks add a jar of cherries and a cup of sugar.

Bake yourself a cake, give your friend a cake and you will have 1 cup of starter to begin the steps again.
