A good friend sent me this recipe for fruitcake about a month after my surgery. It might not really belong in Recipes for Heart Patients, but then again, it might.
1 cup water
1 cup sugar
4 large eggs
2 cups dried fruit
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup brown sugar
lemon juice
nuts
1 gallon whiskey (Bushmills?)
(Sample the whiskey to check for quality.)
Take a large bowl.
Check the whiskey again to be sure it is of the highest quality.
Pour one level cup of whiskey and drink it.
Repeat.
Turn on the electric mixer; beat one cup of butter in a large, fluffy bowl.
Add one teaspoon of sugar and beat again.
Make sure the whiskey is OK. Cry another tup.
Turn off mixer.
Break two legs and add to the bowl and chuck in the cup of dried fruit.
Mix on the turner.
If the fried druit gets stuck in the beaterers, pry it loose with a drewscriver.
Sample the whiskey to check for tonsisticity.
Next, sift two cups of salt. Or something. Who cares?
Check the whiskey again.
Now sift the lemon juice and strain your nuts.
Add one table. Spoon. Of sugar or something.
Whatever you can find.
Grease the oven.
Turn the cake tin to 350 degrees.
Don?t forget to beat off the turner.
Throw the bowl out of the window.
Check the whiskey again.
Go to bed.
