Ingredients:
Yeast starter:1 cup sl;iced peaches,drained and cut up 1 8 oune ca pineapple chinks with juice 3 maraschino cherries 1+ 1/2 cups sugar 1+1/2 packages dry yeast: 1 tablespoon +3/2 teaspoons Fruit starter: 1+ 1/2 cups yeast starter 2+1/2 cups sugar 1 29-ounce can peaches with juice Cake: 1+1/2 cups fruit starter (drained fruit) 1 cup chopped nuts 1 package yellow cake mix (not pudding kind) 1 small package instant vanilla or lemon pudding 4 eggs 2/3 cups vegetable oil
Directions:
Yeast starter: Combine peaches, pineapple, cherries, sugar and yeast. Stir with a wooden spoon 3 to 4 times first day. Then stir daily daily for 2 weeks. Store in glass jar on counter with lid barely set on. Fruit starter: Mix yeast starter, sugar and peaches and place in gallon jar with lid on counter. Let stand: do not refrigerate. Set aside for 10 days, stirring daily. On 10th day, add 2+1/2 cups sugar and 1- 30 ounce can chunk or tidbit pineapple and juice. Let stand 10 more days, stirring daily. On the 20th day add 2+1/2 cups sugar and 1-29 ounce can fruit cocktail and juice and 1 8-ounce jar maraschino cherries and juice. Let stand 10 more days, stirring daily. On the 30th day, drain juice and give 1+1/2 cups juice to 6 friends for their fruit starters. There will be enough fruit for 4 9X13 inch cakes. Cake: Mix cake mix, pudding mix, eggs and oil. Add nuts and fruit. Spread evenly in a greased and floured 4-9X13 pans or 4 bundt pans: Bake in 350 degree oven 35 to 40 minutes. Bundt pan will take longer. This is the one you want. I bake mine in a bundt pan I reduce some of the juice and pour it over the cake as a glaze. I also use it on vanilla ice cream, pound cake and yes... ham. Recipe sounds difficult: it's not just a long process.
