Brandied Fruit Starter should last indefinitely if handled properly.

Use clean equipment and keep it covered.

Cover and let stand at room temperature 3 weeks, stirring fruit twice a week.

Serve fruit over ice cream or pound cake when desired, reserving at least 1 cup starter at all times.

To replenish starter, add 1 cup sugar and one of the fruits, pineapple chunks, peaches, apricot halves or maraschino cherries every 1 to 3 weeks, alternating fruits each time; stir gently.

Cover and let stand at room temperature 3 days before using again.

Makes 6 cups.

*Apricot or peach brandy may be substituted, if desired.

Friendship Cake Mix:

Combine in a gallon glass jar and stir all together; stir several times the first day, thereafter stir once each day.

1 (10-ounce) jar maraschino cherries with juice, diced

Stir once a day for 10 days.

On Thirtieth day:

Drain liquid from fruit.

My mother used to grease her Bundt pan with shortening and then coat it with granulated sugar rather than flour. It gives the surface of the cake a fabulous carmelized texture. Also, you can freeze the starter when you don't want to use it.
