National Brandied Fruit Day | October 20

#brandiedfruitday

Brandied fruit first became popular around the Victorian period... People discovered brandy added to fruit successfully helped preserve it during this period. Incidentally, the process also preserved the flavor of freshly harvested fruit crops while also creating a delectable dessert for adults.

Brandy, sugar, and spices are mixed in soaking sweet fresh fruit. The fruit will sit for nearly 30 days after the initial processing. Then it is poised to be the best desserts, pies, and cakes. Interestingly, brandied fruit is used as a starter for Friendship Cake. Friendship Cake takes time to prepare, similar to the idea of a starter for sourdough bread. However, after the process, you're sure to enjoy one of the most delectable treats ever!
