If you must start from scratch for the Thirty Day Friendship Cake, here is the recipe to make your first batch of starter. This is a fruit-based starter as opposed to the common flour-based starter in Amish Friendship Bread. I received my first starter for this cake in 1992. It makes a wonderful, moist cake (actually, 2 cakes per batch) to feed a crowd; and has a tropical flavor to it. I was extremely grateful to find this recipe at allrecipes.com. I have found the starter to be quite forgiving. Don't start this if you will be gone for a week or two but it will survive if left unattended for a weekend or a few days... just keep counting and resume stirring when you return. Note: Prep time includes aging time for starter

2 cups starter and 6 c. brandied fruit (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 (15 ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained
1 (15 ounce) can apricot halves, drained
1 (15 ounce) can peach slices, drained
1 (10 ounce) jar maraschino cherries, drained
1 1/4 cups brandy
1 1/4 cups white sugar

Directions

1
In a large glass jar, combine drained pineapple chunks, drained apricot slices, drained sliced peaches, drained maraschino cherries, brandy and sugar.
2
Stir gently with a wooden spoon.
3
Cover and let stand at room temperature for 3 weeks, stirring at least twice a week.
4
Drain and reserve the liquid. This liquid is your starter for the "Thirty Day Friendship Cake".

I made this a couple of years ago. I used either Apricot or Peach Brandy. It makes a very good starter, & the strained fruit is very good in cake. i will probably make this again soon.
