“Christmas Fruitcake Recipe”
{Something to save for the next year!}
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 the size and shape of a loaf of bread.
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 timeless and enduring gift of fruitcake!
Great idea for fruitcake. Fruitcake was the big item here yesterday....so much fun!
By the way, when did you get back, meaness! I bet you had a joyful time with your son....I sure hope so! I had errands to run this afternoon and just about didn’t make it back to the thread....you know, nap, etc. all those important things!
