Event Recap Christmas Community Activities

I think they soaked theirs with homemade wine. And put a cut of water in the oven while they were baking.

 

[GWarren]

You should put a pan of water in the oven to keep up the moisture. Nice tip.

 

[Jeff Westover]

That's an interesting idea

 

[Jeff Westover]

I do that on the grill

 

[MerryCarey]

I could share the recipe in the fruitcake chat archive. I don't have children to pass it along to. It's an old family recipe.

 

[Jeff Westover]

Definitely

 

[Jordan Rivers]

Taking notes here.

 

[Jordan Rivers]

I'm doing the fruitcake thing

 

[MerryCarey]

Funny thing is, I never tasted it. I asked Mom when I was little what it tasted like, and she said, "You wouldn't like it." So I never tried it!

 

[GWarren]

I had friends who would macerate fruit for about a month in whatever alcohol they found. It was STRONG. One could go blind.

 

[MerryCarey]

Wish I could try it now.

@DecemberisComing @KimB Welcome!

 

[Jordan Rivers]

Nice to see new faces!

 

[DecemberisComing]

Thanks! Excited to be here

 

[GWarren]

Beside the ornament and card exchange, what other surprises are in store?

 

[MerryCarey]

Eager to hear what's coming up!

 

[Jordan Rivers]

We should set up a live stream of @GWarren

 

[MerryCarey]

I'm already in on the Night Before Christmas Read-a-Thon.

 

[Jeff Westover]

Well...we have some old and new coming this year

 

[Jeff Westover]

The Night Before Christmas is new...but we've talked about it for years.
