Subject: chocolate cherry fudge
Help ! I am looking for a recipe for chocolate cherry fudge that
was a two layer fudge, with chocolate on the bottom and cherry on
top---I believe one of the ingredients for the cherry layer was
maraschino cherry juice--no nuts or any other solid ingredients,
and I do believe that it was probably a cheater fudge recipe--with
marshmallow creme, chocolate chips, etc.---but the other kind would
suit as well. Can you please help?
Kathy
Hello Kathy,
I could only find three recipes with that name. See below.
Phaed
Chocolate Cherry Fudge
. 1/3 cup finely chopped maraschino cherries, well drained
. 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
. 3-2/3 cups powdered sugar
. 1/2 cup HERSHEY'S Cocoa or HERSHEY'S Dutch Processed Cocoa
. 1/4 cup evaporated milk
. 1/3 cup pecan pieces
. 1 teaspoon almond extract
. Maraschino cherry halves, well drained (optional)
. Slivered almonds (optional)
Line 8-inch square pan with foil. Lightly press chopped cherries
between layers of paper towels to remove excess moisture. In medium
microwave-safe bowl, microwave butter at HIGH (100%) 1 minute or
until melted; stir in powdered sugar, cocoa and evaporated milk
until well blended. Microwave at HIGH 1-1/2 minutes; stir vigorously.
Microwave at HIGH an additional 30 seconds at a time, until mixture
is hot, slightly thickened and smooth when stirred. Do NOT boil. Stir
in chopped cherries, pecans and almond extract. Spread mixture into
prepared pan. Cover; refrigerate until firm. Remove foil; cut into
squares. Garnish with cherry halves and slivered almonds pressed
lightly onto fudge, if desired. Serve cold; refrigerate leftover fudge.
About 4 dozen pieces. NOTE: For best results, do not double this recipe.

Hello Lo Ann,
I could not locate the pinwheel recipe. Sorry.
I did find one raspberry Bavarian cream recipe, though. See below.
Phaed
Raspberry Bavarian Cream
4 cups (1 L) fresh or frozen (not in syrup) raspberries or strawberries
1 cup (250 ml) sugar
1 packet (1 Tbs, 15 ml) unflavored gelatin 3 Tbs (45 ml) cold water
3 Tbs (45 ml) boiling water
1 Tbs (15 ml) lemon juice
1 cup (250 ml) whipping cream
Thaw the berries if using frozen. Combine the berries and sugar in a
bowl and mash the berries. Let stand 30 minutes. Soak the gelatin in the
cold water for 10 minutes. Add the boiling water and stir to dissolve.
Add the gelatin and lemon juice to the berry mixture. Whip the cream to
the soft peak stage and gently fold into the berry mixture. Pour into a
mold and chill at least 6 hours before unmolding. Alternately, the
mixture may be placed in cooked pie shells and chilled. Serves 8 to 10.

Subject: Farm Journal Cookbook recipe
Having moved and with most of my books packed away for now, I am
struggling to resurrect my traditional Christmas recipes. I have
found most, but I am still looking for the Honey Fruit Cake in an
old edition of Farm Journal Cookbook. This fruit cake is in the
Special Sweetening section and is special in that it has lots of
dried fruits soaked in honey for a week before the actual cooking.
Over the years I've eliminated the candied fruits so that I use all
dried fruits except for some candied cherries. My husband, who
usually hates fruit cake, asks for this one every year.
Can you help?
Thanks,
Florence
Hello Florence,
Well, I could not find but one recipe with that name, and it does not mention Farm Journal. See below.
Phaed
Honey Fruitcake
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1 1/2 cups honey
3 eggs
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
dash salt
1 tsp nutmeg
1/2 cup whiskey, brandy etc.
1/4 cup molasses
1/2 lb candied fruit
1/2 lb raisins
2 cups walnut pieces
Cream butter, honey and eggs. Combine dry ingredients and add
alternately to creamed mixture with whiskey. Place in a well
greased and paper lined loaf pan. Bake in a preheated 350F oven
until set ( about 1 1/2 to 2 hours ). Cool completely and wrap
in whiskey moistened cheesecloth and store airtight.

Subject: Looking for a recipe for Fools Gold
I buy this at Silver Dollar City in Branson, Missouri. I'm
pretty sure it is the same as the peanut brittle recipe
without the peanuts, but would like to find recipe to fix
some for a dear friend who is allergic to nuts but loves
the candy part.
Vickie
Hello Vickie,
I could not locate a recipe for "Fool's Gold", but I have some other ideas
for you. The obvious one is that you can use any peanut brittle recipe, but
just leave out the peanuts, which is what I did in the first recipe below.
Below that are some other ideas. You can make brittle with chocolate chips,
sesame seeds, or with puffed wheat cereal or Kix cereal or even with
crackers! The maple syrup brittle recipe at the bottom sounds tasty, too.
