FRIENDSHIP BRANDY FRUIT STARTER
This version of fruit starter uses brandy, not yeast, just to get things started. This delightful concoction is used in cake mixes and served over ice cream or pound cake. It gets its name because you share it with friends so it makes a great gift in a pretty jar. You will need a place to keep a large jar at room temperature. It takes a couple of minutes daily for "care and feeding", but the smell alone is worth it! Possible substitutions or additions: fruit cocktail, apricots, mandarin oranges or pears. Finally found this version on www.CooksRecipes.com since my grown daughter, Kat is allergic to yeast. NOTE: Since this is fermented, this fruit is not for kids unless used in baking.

BRANDED FRUIT STARTER
The starter is a yeasty, fruit mixture that adds flavor and moisture to a fruit-filled 'friendship cake.' The starter is allowed to ferment and 'grow' much like a sourdough starter. When working with the starter mixture, keep it at room temperature and covered, but not airtight. If you get tired of it, freeze it, then use later. You may substitute 2 cups of dried apples for the apricot halves. Cooking time does not include time to ferment the fruit. This recipe is from an old newspaper clipping. It is used to prepare Recipe #276412
