Very good recipe for the starter. My husbands grandmother from Louisiana made this every Christmas and he has been craving it. I was concerned that it only marinated for 3 weeks, but it turned out great! The brandy flavor is excellent! I went ahead and made a cake from the starter fruit and the cake wasn't as moist as the 30-day version, at first. But, as it sat for a day or two it became more moist & delicious!

Fantastic flavor!!! I used 2 very thick pork chops with bone-in, Montreal Steak seasoning, KC's Honey bbq sauce and Shiner lite beer. Nice and spicy. Super easy! I only used one onion and that was enough for us. I made mini sandwiches using the Hawaiin Bread, nice combo of spicy sauce and sweet bread. I will make again!
