Chef Deb's Fruitcake Recipe

Fruitcake Recipe

Items Needed ————-

4 Oz. Fruit Bits

1 Railroad Tie

Wood Saw

Large Rubber Mallet

Safety Goggles

WEAR YOUR SAFETY GOGGLES! (Children Get help from an adult!)

Cut a one-foot section from the middle of your railroad tie. The resulting block of wood should be about four inches by four inches by ten inches.

Then, take some fruit bits 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 should be much harder than the railroad tie so you can’t break anything.

For best result, you should pre-treat the fruit bits by setting them on top of your garage for a year (or by microwaving them on HIGH for 30 minutes).

Finally, cover it tightly in plastic wrap, and give your loved ones the time-less and enduring gift of fruitcake!

Wrap the fruitcake in saran wrap and I like to use a nice red ribbon and bow to give the saran wrap a nice warm glow. There should be plenty of railroad tie left to give fruitcake to all your family and friends.

P.S.

Be sure to sign the bottom of it so you know who all the Re-Gifters are next year! Those sneaky little devils.
