.....still edible. So I'm researching old real fruitcake recipes.
I've been kinda watching that off and on through the day,and the one food that they said would last millions of years and still be edible,is honey and still taste good.
As opposed to "real old fruitcake" recipies? Take fruitcake from last year and pass on to grandma this year...(I suspect it has been floatin' around our family for at least three generations.)Quote:

The reason they are still around is that nobody eats them, just past them along.
Sorry don't have any recipes.
I kinda been watching "Life After People" as well, kinda cool.
But the DW says, "Well what happend to the people?
"They didn't say."
"Well how come there is still animals?
"Don't know".
"Well you'd think that what ever happened the people, would happen to the animals, too, wouldn't you think?
I went out and shoveled snow.............
So she goes back to watching HGTV..........
HA,could you tell any difference in taste in the 5000 yo honey,versus todays honey??
About the fruitcake,yuk,yuk, yuk,I won't eat it fresh,let alone 120+ years old:)
I have a most excellent recipe for bourbon fruitcake my grandma gave me. Technically it's a fruit cake but doesn't have the nasty citron crap in it. It uses bourbon soaked cherries and raisins. Plus some pecans. Plus some bourbon. Some Flour. Some more bourbon. And about 2 lbs of butter. And more bourbon. I don't know if it would keep 130 years though. Another major component is about a dozen whipped egg whites.
Making them is a Thanksgiving Weekend event. They usually don't even make it to Xmas around here. But I think there is one still up in the fridge. Might have to crack it open...gotta see if it's still good.
Carla Emery has a few recipes in her book. Haven't tried them though.
Hey everyone....A place to send our fruitcakes!!! Just mail them to LowKey!!:clap:Quote:

It might make a better brick than a meal!! I would send it but shipping costs would kill me!Quote:

Not around Rick, anyway:innocent:Quote:

Made with love and care and put up in the family larder against the wolf of deep Winter. Taking a slice, toasting it over a campfire's coals and a smear of marscapone cheese. YUM, YUM, YUM!

Does T&T mean "tried and true?"Quote:

nell67 careful, might just be trying to get rid of it.
Yup,tried and true!Quote:

Ha ha , I was kinda wondering that myself,,Quote:

But a real one...Yum. Though I've never tried marscapone on it....Hmmm....
I like fruit cake. I don't want a lot of it but I do like it.
As for the Twinkies, I can confirm they will last long enough to ship from the plant to my house. Oh, if you happen to leave the cellophane out over night and you try to lick the dried Twinkie filling off of it the next morning for breakfast there is a good chance the hardened filling on the cellophane will give your tongue a paper cut. Another safety bulletin from your Minister of Science. aka Mumbles.
How long does it keep and would it get crystallized eventually?
The brand I love is Really Raw Honey and it says on the jar:
"Never barreled, heated or strained, no antibiotics or pesticides ever.
Never spoils, it lasts indefinitely."
On a side note...having a spoon-full of honey when the worst sweet tooth cravings hit pretty much cured me from falling prey to junk. I suppose the flavor is so intense that it stops me from wanting anything else sweet after that first bite.
My father used to get a fruit cake from his employer every year. I was the only one who ate it. It would take about a year hidden in the back of the fridge, I would grab a piece once in a while. I liked it and look how I turned out.
Honey will dehydrate if nor properly sealed or stored in too dry a place. The 5000 year old honey I tasted came a comb stored in a fired clay jar sealed with beeswax and then stored in a cave(nature's climate control chamber).Quote:
