For those who still hold to the custom of making fruitcake every Christmas, I have found a WONDERFUL recipe guaranteed to be the best you ever tried. Be sure to read the directions VERY carefully, then... Enjoy!

Christmas Whiskey Cake

1 cup butter
2 cups sugar
6 large eggs
2 tsp. baking powder
3 cups flour, sifted
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup Bourbon
1 pound pecans, chopped,
3 cups white raisins or candied fruit
1 tsp. nutmeg
AND... A very large bottle of good bourbon whiskey

First, sample the whiskey to check for quality. Assemble all of the ingredients. Check the whiskey again. To be sure it is of the highest quality, pour one level cup and drink it.

Repeat this step.

Turn on the electric mixer and beat one cup of butter in a large fluffly bowl. Add one teaspoon sugar and cream until beat. Make sure the whiskey is still okay... Try another cup.

Turn off the mixer. Beat six leggs and add to the bowl, then chunk in the cup of dried flute. Mix on the turner. Throw in two quarts of flour. Gradually pour in the cow. Add two dried anything. If the fried druit gets stuck in the beaters, pry it loose with a drewscriver.

Sample the whiskey again and check it for tonsistency.

Next sift two cups of salt or something... Who cares?

Check the whiskey again.

Now sift the nutmeg and your nuts. Add one table. And the spoon... Of whiskey, or something. Whatever you find left.

Cour another pup of viskey and spoon your mouth into some.

Grease the oven. Turn the crake pan to 350 degrees. Don't forget to beat off the turner. Pour the oven into the batter. Throw the bowl out out the window. Lick the batter off the floor, being careful not to will the sphiskey. Bake 300 minutes at 50 degrees. Finish the bobble of whishky and go to bed.

...Who the heck likes Fruitcake anyway?

Kansan, OMG I am going to show this to my sisters.

I love this thread
Any recipe for the turkey tonight??
Urgent!!!

Yum, yum!!!
Gonna make it soon...

My favorite way to cook a turkey

Quarter a lemon and an onion and about 10 sage leaves and stuff inside the cavity of the Turkey.

Then mix up butter and minced sage and massage it under the skin of the turkey as well as all over it and salt inside and out.

Roast in the oven at 350 degrees for about 3 1/2 hours for 13 to 18 pounds 4 hours up to 22 pounds

I start the turkey with the breast side down for the first hour and a half... this allows the juices to catch in the breast meat and stops the breast from burning. After the first hour and a half turn the Turkey breast side up and continue cooking.

Make sure you use a roasting pan to catch all the juices to make lovely homemade gravy.

Gaelic Coffee

A large measure of whisky

2 teaspoons of brown sugar

pour black coffee to three quarters of the way up the glass (no instant coffee crap)

Warm up a tablespoon in hot water and pour into glass whipped up double cream over the back of the hot tablespoon.

Should look like a pint of Guiness.

One or two of these and you will sleep like a babe.

If you like that one, try this. Ran across this in the bahamas - called a Junkanoo Coffee after their festival.

1 shot Royal Bahamian rum
1 shot Kalua
Fill mug with good strong coffee
Top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.

Enjoy!
