1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Cut the gumdrops in fourths. Fry the pecans in the 1 tablespoon butter or margarine. Mix pecans, raisins, and gumdrops together, and roll in 3/4 cup of flour mixture. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup butter or margarine and white sugar. Mix in beaten eggs. Mix in the flour and spice mixture alternately with the applesauce.

GUMDROP FRUITCAKE



Gumdrop Fruitcake image

A classic Canadian prairie recipe that will turn even the most unwilling into a fruitcake lover. Gumdrop fruitcake has a light caramelized batter studded with chewy gumdrops and sweet fruits. It's a Christmas jewel.

Provided by Margaret Bose Johnson

Categories     Baking

Time 4h

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 lbs (1.36kg) sultana raisins
1 lb (454gms) dried currants
1 lb (454gms) baker's gumdrops ((sometimes called 'fruitlets'))
1 lb (454gms) red candied cherries, plus a few extras for garnish
1 lb (454gms) blanched slivered almonds, plus a few extras for garnish
8 oz (½lb/225gms) mixed glacéed fruit and peel
1 cup (140gms) flour ((or brown rice flour for gluten-free))
2 cups (400gms) sugar
1 lb (454gms) salted butter, room temperature
12 large eggs
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
½ cup (120ml) orange juice or brandy ((I use ¼ cup/60ml thawed frozen orange juice concentrate plus ¼ cup brandy or rum))
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 tablespoon rum extract or brandy extract (optional)
2¾ cups (385gms) regular flour or gluten-free flour blend
cheesecloth and additional brandy or rum to soak the cakes (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 275°F (140°C).
  • Grease and flour 3 loaf pans (4½ x 8½ inches/11.5cmx21.5cm) and 3 small loaf pans (3 x 6 inches/7.5cmx15cm). If they are non-stick pans, you can just grease them and omit the flouring. Mine slide out easily, but if your pans have lost the non-stick ability and you think the cakes may stick, you could line the pans with parchment paper as an extra precaution. You can also prepare 4 large loaf pans and 1 small one. Or 3 loaf pans if you have even larger sized ones.

POPCORN GUMDROP CAKE



Popcorn Gumdrop Cake image

I saw another recipe posted for a Popcorn Candy Cake. It's a little bit different than this one (and actually looks fabulous). I think I cut this recipe out of one of the Taste of Home Magazine inserts. It's definitely for someone with a sweet tooth. Kids would love this.... The time noted is the time for the cake to set.

GUMDROP CAKE



Gumdrop Cake image

I don't use baking gums for this. Those things are horrid. If you wouldn't eat them right out of the bag, don't bake with them. Don't use any black ones. Ganong are the best-they don't make black ones. The easiest way to cut them is with scissors dipped in flour.
