Oh I love Amish Friendship bread. It has been years since I have had it. It would be nice to get started up on it again.

| I love Amish Friendship bread. I always freeze my starter so I have some to share when I can't share it right away. |

Jami, the recipe is posted above - the bread starter is noted at the top, first line, small print. :-)
1 cup flour, 1 cup of sugar, 1 cup of milk = starter bag. xo |

| Has anyone used the recipe with fruit in it? My mom had one for Amish Friendship bread that had fruit and juice in it? I will see if I can find her recipe to post. |

| Denise, I haven't but, that actually sound good... marichino cherries come to mind immediately, mini chocolate chips even. Will give that a try on my next batch! |

| The starter actually uses the fruit to ferment. I have to find that recipe. I will look tonight and see if I can find it. |

I can't find my Mom's recipe but here is a recipe I got from Nini Betters quite a few years back.
Friendship Bread
Starter: Put in a gallon jar with lid. ( I've always used the jar but wonder if a gallon bag could be used.)
Day 1: Put in jar 29 oz can of peaches, cut up, with syrup, 2 1/2 cups of sugar, 1 pkg of active dry yeast (not fast acting)
Stir together, put lid on jar
Days 2-9: Stir once a day with a wooden spoon
Day 10: Add 2 1/2 c. sugar, 1- 20 ounce can of crushed pineapple with juice. Stir lightly, replace lid.
Days 11-19 Stir once a day
Day 20: Add 2 1/2 c sugar, 1- 30 ounce can fruit cocktail with syrup, 1 jar maraschinos cherries, cut in half. Stir lightly, replace lid.
Days 21-29: Stir once a day, replace lid.
Day 30: Starter is ready to use. Drain fruit, reserve the liquid. Divide liquid into 3 containers. Give two to friends with this recipe. Do not use yeast in this starter again.
For bread or cake:
For each batch you will need: 1- 18 to 18.5 ounce yellow cake mix. (Non pudding type)
1- 3.4 ounce box of instant vanilla pudding
4 large eggs
2/3 c. oil
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 1/2c. drained fruit from the starter
1 c walnuts, optional.
1c. raisins, optional.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour pans.
In large bowl mix: cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, oil and vanilla extract until well blended.
Stir in drained fruit, walnuts and raisins.
Pour into pans filling 2/3 full.
Bake 50- 60 minutes or until toothpick inserted 1 inch from edge comes out clean. Cool in pans for 20 minutes, remove from pan.
Now you can gift a friend with a loaf, starter and recipe for starter, omitting yeast. |

| I want to clarify that I know you can freeze the starter from the recipe I shared. I'm not sure about the recipe April shared. |

| I believe the 30 day fruit cake has to be in a glass jar with metal lid !!! Due to fermentation |

| Yes, a gallon glass jar. No metal spoons or metal bowls either. |
