Here's my recipe for the fruitmince pie.
1 pie crust

1/2 cup raisins
1 cup golden raisins
1/2 cup currants

About the cherries, are they the dried? Frozen? This time of the year
we don't have them fresh. Thanks! Sounds yummy!

You can find almost anything in the drop-down menu on the right.

Creamcheese Pound Cake with Mandarian Oranges

Ingredients:
3 Sticks unsalted butter
8 oz of cream cheese
6 Eggs
1 pound of sugar (about 3 cups)
2 teaspoons of salt
1-1/2 teaspoons of vanilla
1 pound of flour (about 3 cups)
Large can of Mandarian Oranges.



*Sigh* I thought I knew a lot about American or English measures, and how to
convert them, but obviously not enough... How much is a "Stick" of unsalted
butter?

A quarter of a pound. Most butter in U.S. supermarkets is
packaged in indivually wrapped 1/4 pound "sticks". (I think
that equates to 1/2 cup, but I'm not sure.)

It doesn't even give me the slightest hint on how much it
is. Help
meout, please!

A tradition I would like to see...
we did this 2 Christmas' ago

We baked a real heavy dry walnut cake.
Then we reduced a buttery bourbon sauce (with some sugar in it)
Then pour that over the walnut bunt cake

Will last through end of January. - Daily give it a shot of bourbon.

Not neglecting a shot for yourself, at the same time? ;-)
