fruited friendship cake
I was given this recipe by a lady from Jordan. It is really an amazing cake. It takes a while to get the fruit ready. The juice left after the fruit is ready is really like homemade alcohol. I'm told it is good to spoon over vanilla ice cream, but I never have. I save 1/3 to get the next batch of fruit going. The juice freezes well if you aren't ready to start more fruit right away. The fruit also freezes well, and so does the made cake.
