FRUITED FRIENDSHIP CAKE
I was given this recipe by a lady from Jordan. It is really an amazing cake. It takes awhile to get the fruit ready. The juice left after the fruit is ready is really like homemade alcohol. I'm told it is good to spoon over vanilla ice cream, but I never have. I save 1/3 to get the next batch of fruit going. The juice freezes well if you aren't ready to start more fruit right away. They fruit also freezes well, and so does the made cake.

Steps:
- It Takes a Few Weeks To Get It To The Point Where You Can Make a Cake. DO NOT use a metal container or metal spoon.
- Into a Glass Jar or Plastic Container That You Can Loosely Cover & Leave On The Counter: 1/3 of the juice saved from the last time or given to you by a friend along with 2 16 oz cans Pineapple With The Juice & 2 1/2 C Sugar. Gently stir. Let sit 10 days. If you don't have any starter juice, that's OK. Just start with the fruit and sugar.

- Now you are ready to make the cake.

You can also add 1 cup nuts, 1 cup raisins and/or 1 cup coconut. You may need to add about 1/4 cup of the reserved liquid if the batter is too stiff.
FRUIT STARTER AND FRIENDSHIP CAKE
This wonderful recipe is one that an elderly neighbor shared with me back in the early 70's. She was always baking and sharing her baked goods. She was one of the sweetest neighbors ever!

Steps:
- In a 1-gallon glass jar with a wide mouth and lid, combine the peaches, pineapple, maraschino cherries, sugar and yeast (make sure the yeast is well mixed with syrup).
- Stir mixture two times the first day.
- Stir once a day afterward.
- Do not refrigerate this mixture.
- Keep loosely covered.
- Two weeks after starting the starter, add 1/2 cup peaches and 1/2 cup pineapple with syrup.
- Wait for several days, stirring daily, and drain 2 cups of mixed fruit and use to make cake as directed in the cake recipe.
- Reserve 1 1/2 cups starter juice and leave in glass gallon jar.
- Count this as Day One, and start the process for renewing the starter and making the cake.
- DAY 1: To reserved 1 1/2 cups starter juice (or to starter juice given you by a friend), add 2 1/2 cups sugar and a 2-lb can of peaches with syrup.
- Stir daily.

- Be sure to keep enough juice (1 1/2 cups) for your own starter.

- The cakes can be frozen.
- It is not necessary to bake all three cakes the same day, but stir the remaining fruit mixture every day until it is used (this fruit mixture can be refrigerated until used).
- The drained fruit can be frozen until you are ready to bake the cakes.
THIRTY DAY FRIENDSHIP CAKE
This takes 30 days to prepare the fruit for the cake but it's worth it. It's delicious. If you are lucky a 'friend' will give you 2 cups of starter along with a piece of cake so you won't have to go to all the trouble of preparing a starter. If you have the starter, begin with step 1. If you don't have the starter, follow the link to Friendship Fruit Starter. It will actually take 50 days total, if you need to make the starter.

Steps:
- Day One: In a large glass jar or bowl, combine 2 cups of the starter with 1 can of the sliced peaches and their juice (each slice chopped into 4 pieces). Add 2 1/2 cups of the white sugar and stir once every day for 10 days. When not stirring mixture, keep it covered with a paper towel, foil, or a loose lid. Let sit at room temperature. Don't refrigerate it or cover it airtight. A pan of water underneath the jar or bowl will keep the ants out.
- Day Ten: Add 1 can of chunk pineapple and its juice. Cut each chunk of pineapple in half. Stir in 1/2 cup of white sugar. Stir once everyday for 10 days. The color should change, and the mixture should foam when stirred.
- Day Twenty: Slice each cherry in half, and stir in. Add 2 1/2 cups of the white sugar. Stir once every day for the final 10 days. The cherries will give the juice back its pinkish color.
- Day Thirty: Drain fruit and reserve it and the liquid. The fruit will be used in the cake. Pour the liquid into 3 glass or ceramic pint jars. One for you to start your next cake, and two for friends. Cake must be started within 3 days after receiving the starter, or you should freeze the starter to use at a later date. Do not use plastic or metal containers to store liquid!
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9x13-inch baking pans.
- It's best to mix the two cakes separately. Combine 1 box of the cake mix, 1 box of the instant vanilla pudding, 2/3 cup of the vegetable oil, and 4 of the eggs. Stir, then add 1/2 of the drained reserved fruit from the starter. Stir, then add 1 cup of the golden raisins, 1 cup of the chopped nuts and 1 cup of the coconut. Stir until all ingredients are combined. The batter will be stiff. Pour batter into the prepared cake pan. Repeat for cake number two.
- Bake cakes at in the preheated oven for 55 to 65 minutes.
