It is the time of year to make boozy whisky cakes for the holidays. I don't soak my fruit cake but many do. You start soaking the cakes about 6 weeks before Christmas. There is also Kentucky whiskey cake that is traditional bundt for Christmas. Oh and don't forget bourbon balls which is a candy. Cooks and bakers will always go for top shelf bourbon because it does make a difference in flavor by the way they age it. Not everyone uses bourbon some like rum and other liquors. Butter Rum pound cake is yummy.

I use Imperial in a lot of baking too, but you will need butter for this. Margarine will make the cookie spread and this needs the under tone flavor of butter to go with the whiskey. Any whiskey should do for this. I was given Jim Beam.

I need some ideas on using up 2 gallons of dried cherries. I kid you not. That is what I was given. I have 13 zucchini I need to grate for bread. I already have some frozen in slices to fry. It is feast or famine and I don't waste. This is our growing season so many of the organic farms around here donate what they can't sell. A couple of weeks ago I had tomatoes to freeze. I ended up with 3 quart bags I chopped up. That was after I made chili. I have 2 quarts of that in the freezer.

The Chefs that wrote the cookie recipe was from South America. I adapted the recipe and they did use bourbon.

I don't know what to think, DD. I figure I know what to do with bourbon but I'm not sure I could trust anybody who had 'leftover' bourbon and if they woke up and found they did they used it in a recipe, but that's just me. I drink the cheap stuff, Ancient Age, but bourbon is this years cool drink beating out tequila I guess. Some of the High dollar name brands are selling out and getting hard to find which I discovered when visiting a friend who drinks Wellers.

Wow, Momoe, you outdid

Wow, Momoe, you outdid yourself here! I've never heard of anything like these but they must be amazing! I usually use Imperial Margarine sticks in place of butter. I don't think it makes a difference, do you? Also, I might have to come up with something besides bourbon unless I could find one of those little airplane bottles. Lol.

Saving this. Thanks so much.

I made some bourbon chicken

I made some bourbon chicken and it turned out really good. Jim Beam and I have been doing a little cooking. Bourbon Chicken is a Asian dish. I have to always figure out what to do with the foods that I am handed from the pantry. Right now I have 2 gallons of dried cherries. I am way behind in my recipe posting. I have taken the pictures and just haven't got the posts written. It is always a food adventure letting others pick your groceries.

These cookies are really good and different. I think they are better then the traditional bourbon balls that gets served for a Christmas treat.
