A December sunrise over the vines.
I made a batch of almond biscotti yesterday as I do from time to time during the holiday season. Maybe I'll get it together to take a picture of them before we eat them all. I'm also planning to make a fruitcake for Christmas next weekend. More about that later.
FRUITCAKE? I love fruitcake!
ReplyDeleteI made gingerbread yesterday; the house smelled so good whilst it was baking!
Daisy's Best?
ReplyDeletesusan, yes! :)
DeleteI'm also a great fan of fruitcake.
ReplyDeleteHave never understood why it's the
butt of so many jokes. Looking forward
to step-by-step photos.
Oh, good! (<-- That was about the almond biscotti and the fruitcake :)
ReplyDeleteI've never really liked fruit cake, but my mom used to make a fruit-poundcake at Christmas (pound cake with little cut up pieces of maraschino cherries and chopped walnuts and something green... what is the little green candied fruit??). It was such a heavy batter that her mixer struggled with it, so she hasn't made it in years, but I may try it this year.
I will enjoy photos of your biscotti and fruit cake :)
Those short overcast and dark days are great for baking. Maybe fruit cakes are done with all those different colors so they look like the decorations on a Christmas tree?
ReplyDeleteanne marie, I like the smell of baking!
ReplyDeletesheila, good fruitcake is nothing to joke about!
judy, the recipe I use came from susan (above). It's not the American variety of fruitcake that's yellow with fluorescent colored fruit chunks.
nadege, could be...
Like Sheila, I have wondered why so many people claim to dislike fruitcake.
