Oh man makes you wonder what they were thinking back then. I am glad we don't have to eat this stuff
Waste not, want not? ;)
This is really the name??? Wow that is nasty...
Actually, this is a delicious cake, and better for you than most desserts. My recipe comes from my mother, a child of the great depression. It is almost the same, but uses no eggs either. Of course you'd never use actual "rotten" fruit, but if you're lucky enough to have a fruit tree that produces well year after year, this is a great way to use the older bottles of fruit. After 18 months of unemployment, this is another blessing I have -- an apricot tree that didn't freeze 3 years in a row. My cake is in the oven (in a jellyroll pan instead of loaf pans) and is going to a party tonight!
