This brings back memories. It's a version of a fruit cake first published in Ft. Worth [LINK] - Curious1 - 8:18am on 12/04/08

It is similar -- my mom was making this in the 50's -- it has more cherries, and does have a chewy - PatBastrop - 10:27pm on 12/06/08

Marsha's post below has a great hint for fruitcake bakers -- - PatBastrop - 10:13am on 12/04/08

It makes really nice jars for gifts---just put a note on it to refrigerate. [NT] - AngAk - 1:30pm on 12/05/08

What a brilliant idea! - StarlightDancer - 3:47pm on 12/05/08

Do you actually marinate the meat in the sauce and grill? I would think it would burn? - KarenNoCA - 6:44pm on 12/04/08

The Hot Peach sauce? I haven't had it burn, myself. Others here can vouch... - Julie R - WA - 6:55pm on 12/04/08

OK, for some reason I thought is was a marinade. Thanks. [NT] - KarenNoCA - 9:50am on 12/05/08
