Steps:
- 1. You can use a variety of dried fruits. I used raisins dried cherries prunes and dried cranberries in the one pictured. 1 1/2 - 2 cups of each of the 4 fruits.. Take your dried fruit place in dish and almost cover with your liquid. Brandy rum of juice. Cover and allow to soak at least 2 hours. Ya want them plump and moist. If not they will be very dry after baking.
- 2. Mix flour salt baking powder and soda in a bowl and set aside
- 3. Butter in to pan and melt. While melting add molasses and brown sugar. If you like things a bit sweeter you can add more brown sugar. Continue to stir over low heat.
- 4. Take your fruits and dump it all into the butter and sugar mix. Add ginger cinnamon and nutmeg. And orange zest and juice. Cook over low.
- 5. Take your whisked egg and add it to the flour. Mix it in much like you would cutting in butter or lard for a biscuit. You want no bigger then pea sized clumps
- 6. Add about 1 cup of fruit batter to flour stir and continue a cup at a time untill half is mixed with flour ( tempering the eggs in a way) then you can dump it all in along with the nuts and mix by hand. You don't have to mix to much.
- 7. Place in greased and floured pan ..I use a Bundt.. 350° preheated oven.. place rack just above center and place a pan with water on shelf under the cake. for 45 minutes Check at 45 it may take up to 15 more depending on humidity and oven .. don't forget the steam pan of water. It helps keep things moist.
- 8. Cake is done when it has slightly pulled edges from pan and knife is inserted and comes out mostly clean. A crumb or 2. Is ok.
- 9. Let rest in pan 20 minutes or so then take a knife and gently run it around the, edges or the pan place plate ontop of pan and flip it turning cake on yo plate
- 10. Once cool. Take the powder sugar ginger vanilla and milk mix together and slowly spoon over cake . Done!

6 INCOMPARABLE APPALACHIAN DISHES FROM THE OLD DAYS ...
From dustyoldthing.com
Estimated Reading Time 2 mins
- Cracklin’ Bread. Cracklins take this cornbread to a whole new level in this indulgent treat. Back in the old days it was a treat if you had such abundance, but the calories were worked off through manual labor and cold winters.
- Muscadine Pie. This grape pie has been a family favorite for countless families in the south and along the Appalachian mountains. The native southern grape has thick skins, which makes them more suitable for jelly, But, cooked and strained of the skins, they’re wonderful in a pie.
- Shuck Beans with Bacon. Sometimes also called leather breeches, these dried string beans were often strung through with a needle and thread and hung from the rafters in the olden days.
- Cornbread Stuffing. Some Northerners might even know this one! Fans of cornbread stuffing love the crumbly texture and lively flavor of this Southern classic which calls for cayenne, saltines, and sage for a distinctive taste.
- Fried Zucchini. Whether you fry them in strips or in round slices, fried zucchini and squash are like nothing else. The pieces are dredged in milk and then coated in a spiced cornmeal and flour mixture for a wonderful flavor and crunch that has no match.
- Okra Bread. Of all the many ways to prepare okra (fried, pickled, roasted) okra fritters are one of the yummiest. Seems like we had some kind of fritter every week as kids.

FRUITCAKE RECIPES | ALLRECIPES
This recipe includes dried fruit, instead of the glowing, candied stuff we've all learned to associate with fruitcake, and is less dense and more cake-like than many fruitcake recipes. It has become a favorite of my friends and family around the holidays (even the skeptical ones), and is delicious by itself, or covered with a layer of almond paste.
