The best peanut butter uses peanut oil, but only a couple tablespoons
for about four cups of fresh-roasted peanuts. Any neutral oil would
do, but not 5W-20.

Unfortunately, the big name peanut butters may include canola oil,
molasses and sugar.

I use Smuckers. Ingredients: peanuts, salt. I assume this means they
don't add any extra peanut oil.

All of this is very OT but years ago I had a recipe for a fruit cake
that somehow ended up in candied orange rinds.I used to give them to
my children's teachers for Christmas. Well, somewhere along the line
I lost the recipe and have been looking for it ever since. anyone out
there have it?

And "dark fruit cake"

Now - were would I find "burnt sugar"

Mmm...that recipe does sound interesting, hopefully yummy.

They do have a few notes on that page Cheryl. They link to a
recipe that simply tells you how to caramelize sugar:

"Caramelizing Sugar

Put brown sugar in heavy pot. Stir, letting sugar liquefy.
Cook over low heat until dark, stirring constantly, so sugar
does not burn. When almost burnt, remove from heat and stir
in hot water gradually. Mix well, let cool, and pour into
container for use in final cooking."

I'm terribly lazy though, especially when it comes to
cooking. I would probably just buy some ice cream topping
caramel, like Hershey's. Which I happen to have on hand for
"spiking" my doughnuts with :)

PS You okay? Probably nothing, but reading between the lines
(which I'm not very good at) in some of your recent postings
has me wondering some...

If you get ambitious and try making that "burnt sugar"
recipe, let me know what you think of it. I would just skip
the "burnt" part and use 3/4 cup of caramel topping for
starters. Heck, anything with that much caramel in it has to
be good

Thanks, Cheryl, but it is none of these. What I really can't remember
is if the fruit cake was actually baked. You started out by scooping
out the insides of a whole orange and candying the whole rind. You
stuffed the rind with the fruit cake and then what? I can't imagine
how the candied rind would stand up to being baked. Oh well.

I love it, but I'm a party of one now. The taste skipped my mother to me.

Good stuff, Maynard!

I've never met a fruitcake I didn't like, but some I like
better than others :)

Hmm, maybe it's time to make a batch or three - but none of those horrid
candied cherries. Maybe find that one that used dried cherries?

Hmm - not a pudding that was chilled, but baked....or did they fill the

I had mentioned the 101 Uses for Fruitcake, mostly from people who don't
like fruitcake. Has anyone ever put one out in the yard, as one would put a
cake of suet? Do you think the birds would eat it? I'm asking, because I'm
anticipating getting some fruitcakes for Christmas, and I personally don't
care for them. But I don't want to put them out there if they're going to
kill the birds.

That's it!! WOW. thank you so much.

Please don't change the subject line, Cheryl. It's the longest thread I
have ever started on the Internet, and it's really the only thing I have
going in my life right now.

Around here you have to know the raccoon routes.

I think we have retrieved most of them and they are now in storage.

One still in service, but nobody much cares about it except as a place
to sit.
