Notes

  • Fiori di Sicilia: this can be substituted with 1 teaspoon vanilla + ⅕ teaspoon orange oil.
  • Read through the recipe fully before you start. This recipe has to be started the day before to make the starter!
  • I like to use whiskey or rum-soaked raisins, apricots, candied peel, and cranberries, but feel free to mix it up and add what you have.
  • Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature, so they easily blend into the other ingredients.
  • Add in some chopped, bittersweet chocolate for the chocolate lovers out there!
  • Fiori di Sicilia: this can be substituted with 1 teaspoon vanilla + ⅕ teaspoon orange oil.
