Get the latest Apples flavored recipes from Group Recipes. http://www.grouprecipes.com/tag/apples I made my dad one of his favourite Christmas confections - fruitcake - out of another one of his favourites - home made mincemeat! This sucker took up a whole 10" springform with barely any room to spare, and clocked in at just over 6 lbs. It's a combination of two recipes from historic Toronto Star clipouts! Mizz R, if you're wondering by the way, is me! The mincemeat recipe is also on this site: http://www.grouprecipes.com/107940/mizz-rs-big-bad-mincemeat.html http://www.grouprecipes.com/107941/mizz-rs-big-bad-christmas-cake.html This vegan mincemeat mixture was originally made for my Big Bad Christmas Cake this year, but it can also be used for several pies, it makes about 5 cups but you'll only need 3 cups for the cake (if you choose to make it) and the remainders keep very well. http://www.grouprecipes.com/107940/mizz-rs-big-bad-mincemeat.html I don't call this a fruitcake although made with candied fruit! When my kids were small they hated any fruit cake because of the sticky candied fruit and peel that was used in making the cakes. Hubby and I love fruit cake. So I had to compromise and make something the kids would love and not associate as a typical fruit cake. Thus this recipe was born. Its a basic pound cake recipe with finely chopped candied fruit, peel, and nuts and raisins.However not your typical poundcake texture . You'll have to try it to see what I mean. Its a good keeper and very moist and freezes well. Let flavors mellow overnight before cutting. It's great plain and one may dust with powdered sugar instead of the icing. It's also a great way to use leftovers such as applesauce, candied fruit, nuts and raisins and great for the new year too To achieve the proper texture the kids likes, I had to place the candied peel in my food processor and chop it up almost to the point where it turned into a paste but still kept the colors and much smaller pieces of fruit and peel. I do hope you enjoy this! http://www.grouprecipes.com/107903/applesauce-ambrosia-cake.html My passion is anything custard, so proof is in the pudding, eh (laughs).

Truley delicious, and if one wants to make it meat based, use chicken broth and add some chopped cooked Indian flavored or spiced chicken to the finished soup recipe Serve with my posted Indian chickpea salad and some Indian bread and you'll have a splendid meal!
