  • 1 lb butter
  • 1 package yeast
  • ½ cup warm water
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 4 lbs all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ lbs brown sugar
  • 3 tbsp anise seed toasted
  • 3 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp ground cloves
  • 1 tbsp black pepper
  • ¼ lb citron
  • ½ lb walnuts
  • ¼ lb slivered almonds

Instructions

  • Place the molasses, shortening and butter in a pot and set to medium heat. Heat until fully melted, then cool slightly.
  • Combine the yeast, warm water and sugar in a bowl. Allow the mixture to develop, about 5 minutes.

  • Pour the yeast mixture and molasses mixture into the center of the hole and stir with a spoon, then your hands, until fully combined. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and a dish towel. Allow the dough to rest for 24 hours at room temperature.
  • Divide the mixture between eight 9” round baking pans and press firmly into the pans. Decorate with the maraschino cherries, slivered almonds and citron.
  • Bake at 350F for 20 minutes, then cool completely. Store in Ziploc bags and enjoy!
