Footnotes

Editor's Notes
The brandied fruit should be kept refrigerated, and can be served with ice cream, yogurt or pound cake. You can also use the brandied fruit in a cake mix or scratch cake. Use about 2 cups (chopped) per cake mix.
The resulting liquid in this recipe is used to begin the starter in Thirty Day Friendship Cake.
