  I am looking for a cheese cake recipe that uses 3 to 4 tubs of 
  Philadelphia Whipped cream cheese- 

Hello Areatha,

Is this it?

Phaed

  Cheesecake
   
  Makes about 12 servings 
         
  This has to be the easiest and most foolproof cheesecake recipe 
  in existence. It is all mixed in one bowl. It makes a very light 
  but rich New York-style cake. 
   
  4   8-ounce tubs whipped cream cheese 
  1   pint sour cream 
  1/4  pound butter 
  1 1/2   cups sugar 
  2   tablespoons cornstarch     
  1   teaspoon vanilla     
  1  teaspoon lemon juice     
  5   eggs 
   
 Into a large mixing bowl, empty the tubs of cream cheese and 
 the container of sour cream. Do not mix.

 Place the butter and sugar in the bowl, then sift the cornstarch 
 into the bowl and sprinkle on the vanilla and lemon juice. Allow 
 all the ingredients to stand, unmixed, until they reach room 
 temperature.

 With an electric mixer, beat all the ingredients together until 
 mixed well. There will still be some lumps.

 Beat eggs into mixture one at a time, mixing well after each 
 addition. After all the eggs have been added, the mixture should 
 be perfectly smooth.

 Pour batter into a buttered, 10-inch springform pan. Place the 
 springform into a larger roasting pan and half fill the large 
 pan with hot water.

 Bake in a 375-degree oven for one hour. Remove from the oven. Let 
 cool in the water bath for 20 minutes, then remove and cool to room 
 temperature in the springform. After cooling, refrigerate at least 
 three hours before serving, but remove the cake from the refrigerator 
 at least 30 minutes before serving to take off the chill. The cake 
 may be garnished with fruit as desired. 

 Variations: 

 You may alter the flavoring by using 1/4 teaspoon almond extract 
 instead of vanilla, or 3 tablespoons dark rum, or flavored liqueur 
 instead of the extract. The cake has no crust, but you may sprinkle 
 the buttered springform pan with ground or finely chopped nuts, or 
 fine dry breadcrumbs or cake crumbs

  Subject: candid fruit peel;

  Hello, i love your column. i have learned lots on it and now hope u 
  can help me. what is the difference between candid fruit and candid 
  fruit peel. i have a  recipe for mincemeat pie that needs candid fruit 
  peel and everyone says the fruit cake stuff isn't it. how do i make it? 
  thank u. angeleyes..

Hi Angeleyes,

Yes, it's different from candied fruit. See below.

Phaed

  Candied  Fruit  Peel

      Wash and dice the peels of the lemons, oranges and grapefruit as
   you collect them and put them in the freezer or freezer-safe
   containers.  When you have the peelings from 4 of each of the
   fruits, you are ready to start.  Slowly bring to a boil:  1 cup
   water, 1/4 cup white corn syrup and 2 cups sugar for 30 minutes over
   low heat.  Then add the peels and cook for 55 minutes to an hour
   until all the syrup has been absorbed.  Lay out on a large piece of
   wax paper and sprinkle it liberally with sugar.  Put the candied
   peel on the waxed paper and toss so the peels will be covered with
   the sugar.  Let it sit for a day or two to dry.  The peel will then
   keep indefinitely in the freezer or icebox and is so good!
   ----------------------------------
   Candied  Orange  Or  Grapefruit  Peel

         Cut peel from thick skinned fruit in lengthwise sections.  Cover
   with cold water; bring to boil.  Boil for 15 minutes; drain.  Put 2
   cups sugar and 1 cup water in electric fry pan.  Set control at 325
   degrees.  Place 2 cups peel at a time in syrup.  Cook until
   transparent.  Take peel out of skillet; let cool. Roll in granulated
   sugar.  Spread on wax paper to dry.
   ----------------------------------
   Candied  Orange  Peel

         Wash!  Take center out of rinds; leave white in.  Cut in strips
   or pieces. Cover with water (cold), bring to a boil and let boil a
   few minutes.  Drain.  Do this 3 times in all.  Then weigh rinds, use
   as much sugar as rinds and just barely cover with water.  Boil again
   and continue boiling until water or syrup is about all gone.  Place
   on wax paper to cool.  Then roll in granulated sugar and let dry.
   ----------------------------------
   Candied  Citrus  Peel

   Ingredients : 
   2 c. citrus peel (lemon, orange or grapefruit)
   1 1/2 c. water
   1/4 c. water
   1/2 tsp. soda
   1 c. sugar

   Preparation : 
      Cut peel into thin strips.  Place in 2 quart bowl, cover with 1
   1/2 cups water and soda.  Bring to boil in microwave and cook 5 to 6
   minutes.  Remove, drain and rinse in cold water.  Return to bowl and
   add 1/4 cup water and 1/2 cup sugar.  Boil 6 minutes, stirring twice.
