I haven't tried making one of them yet, but from what everyone is saying, it's hard and time-consuming. Ate more than one and love them, will have to try making one sometime.
Those look good, you can make a lot of cobbler and pies for sure with all those. We had peach trees here a few times and they produced the sweetest peaches real juicie, but soon as winter came they died.
It was always my older brother's requested birthday cake. I forget what mine was...I may have asked for apple pie.
I love peach cobbler, or actually anything peach. Peaches here have been kind of mushy in texture. I bet those home grown are delicious.
My Aunt that is deceased was the Queen of Fruit cake makers far as I was concerned. It was real Fruit Cake and after the baking it was wrapped in a clean dish towel soaked in RUM, for about two weeks getting a dose of that RUM everyday until Christmas. Now a couple years ago at the other dollar store here where I live they had these really good one dollar small Fruit Cakes, after the first one I went back and bought ten dollars worth. I hope to check this year and see if they have them again. I don't like those that have that hard tough fruit that can break a persons teeth.
I always soaked all my fruit and nuts in brandy a couple days before making the cakes. Then brush some Brandy over the top and sides.
We didn’t make this cake, but a good friend of ours is from Puerto Rico, and his daughter makes the Tres Leche cakes. He brought this over for us for Thanksgiving, and it is the most delicious cake I have ever eaten ! It is a white cake with whipped cream topping and has extra milk that saturates the bottom of the cake, and the 3 kinds of milk is where it gets the name Tres Leche.
