Fruitcake Recipe
Items Needed:
4 Oz. Fruit Bits
4 Oz Dried Raisins
1 Railroad Tie
Wood Saw
Large Rubber Mallet
Safety Goggles
WEAR YOUR SAFETY GOGGLES. (Children: Get help from an adult!)
1. Cut a one-foot section from the middle of your railroad tie. The
resulting block of wood should be the size and shape of a loaf of bread.
2. Take the fruit bits and raisins (five-year-old dried raisins are
preferred) and pound them into the block with your rubber mallet.
Spread the colors around, or you might wind up with an ugly
fruitcake. Don't be afraid to throw some elbow grease into that
mallet! Good fruit bits and dried raisins should be much harder than
the railroad tie, so you can't break anything.
3. For best result, you should pretreat the fruit bits by setting
them on top of your garage for a year (or by microwaving them on HIGH
for 30 minutes).
4. Finally, cover it tightly in plastic wrap, and decorative paper
with a lovely bow on top and give your loved ones the timeless and
enduring gift of fruitcake!
WHO EVER EATS FRUITCAKE ANYWAY?
(Please don't send me email about this ... my wife loves fruitcake.
But then, she's fond of me, too. Hmmmm.......)
