State's fruitcake bakers look to change perception on holiday dessert

By Dallas Duncan
In the spring, Georgia has strawberries and Vidalia Onions. In the summer, peaches and watermelon. And in the holiday months of November through January, Georgia has fruitcake.
"I've been told ... that fruitcake kind of got its traction as a seasonal item in the fall because that's when the nuts came in," said Dale Parker, vice president of Claxton Fruit Cake in Claxton, Ga. "Pecans are harvested in the fall. Almonds and walnuts, pineapple is harvested, a new crop of cherries comes in the fall. Many years ago, housewives began to get those items readily available in the fall, so one of the things they made in the holiday were fruitcakes, and it kind of cemented that reputation."
Parker's family-owned-and-operated company established a reputation of its own during the past century.
The world-renowned fruitcake company started out in the early 1900s, when an Italian pastry chef named Savino Tos immigrated to the US. He moved from Brooklyn, NY., to Macon, Ga., and finally settled in Claxton, Ga., in 1910.

"He was on his way down to Savannah and passed through Claxton, which at the time was a very small town, agricultural community," Parker said. "He liked the fact that the townspeople were very friendly and the town had no bake shop or bakery."
Tos opened its first bakery and his Italian fruitcake was a popular treat. Parker said Tos focused on fruitcake during the fall months, but continued to produce other goodies yearround.
Parker's father came to work for Tos during the Great Depression, when he was only 11 years old. His father purchased the business in 1945 and it's been in the Parker family ever since.
"Around that time, a lot of small town bake shops began to disappear because you had stores like grocery stores beginning to come onto the scene. My dad knew that he owned a small-town bake shop in a changing environment, so he had to specialize and do something different or the likelihood was he might not be able to survive as a business," Parker said.
And so, his father chose fruitcake. It was made, packaged and loaded onto a Ford Model A, where customers would buy them right off the truck.
"In 1945, his first year of ownership with the company, he made approximately 45,000 pounds of fruitcake," Parker said. "Today we make about 45,000 pounds before lunch."
The company produces more than five million pounds of fruitcake annually, plus chocolate-covered fruitcake nuggets and individually wrapped slices, at its on-site bakery, Parker said.
Claxton Fruit Cake boasts nearly 70 percent fruits and nuts, including candied pineapple, candied cherries, California raisins, candied citrus peel, walnuts, almonds and Georgia-grown pecans, Parker said. Except for the pineapple, all the ingredients are grown in the US.
The company, and other smaller Georgia bakeries, are doing their best to change perceptions about the winter dessert staple.
"When people say, `I don't like fruitcake,' they're usually talking about a cake that usually is very dry pound cake that has a few fruits and nuts sprinkled in it," Parker said. "Most of those companies that make

the quote, `bad,' fruitcakes are usually bread companies that make a few fruitcakes during the season and throw them out there on the shelf."
Marilyn Santulli, owner of American GraFrutti in Roswell, Ga., is so committed to promoting the treat that hers is called, "It's NOT Fruitcake!".
"I just thought my mission in life at this stage was to produce fruitcake for the whole world. I wanted them to be an American treat, but a hearty and healthy version," Santulli said. "It's a more wholesome, hearty version of a fruitcake that doesn't have the candied fruit that I think a lot of people object to."
Her gluten-free fruitcake, based on a family recipe that dates back to the late 1800s, is aged with peach brandy and sherry and features homemade gourmet graham crackers, which impart a cinnamon-y, vanilla-y flavor into the batter, said Allie Watkins, the company's marketing and retail manager.
"We also have dried pineapple as one of the ingredients in there and that gives it a great sweetness. There are walnuts on top and all throughout, so it's this really velvety texture punctuated by these crunchy nuts and earthy flavor," Watkins said. "All of those things together are like this magical masterpiece."
She said consumers can see bakers' personalities in their fruitcakes.
"You can see do they love nuts, do they love a certain fruit over others, do they love a certain texture," Watkins said. "They're made literally with someone's hands so that you can feel the love in them."
The monks at Monastery of the Holy Spirit in Conyers, Ga., ensure that customers can also feel blessed to enjoy their version. Novices, the "young guys in religious life," do much of the fruitcake work, said Brother Peter Spera, store buyer for the monastery's store. In addition to its pineapples, cherries, dates and nuts, the Gourmet Southern Fruitcakes are full of prayer, he said.
"The fruit that we use is not the regular candied fruit," Spera said. "It's a little more cakey, but it's full of nuts. The biggest difference is that it is handmade by the monks."
Like Santulli's cake, the monastery's contains peach brandy to differentiate it from others in the country, such as Kentucky monasteries that would use bourbon.

Parker and other fruitcake makers are out to change consumers' perceptions of the product by imparting American- and Georgia-grown ingredients, prayer and a whole lot of love into the baking process.

"The fruit is soaked in the brandy and then it's actually injected after it's baked," Spera said. "It has to age at least six months before we can sell it, and from then on it just keeps getting better and better the longer it's kept."
Not all fruitcake should stick around for long, though. Parker said Claxton Fruit Cake has a 180-day shelf life, though refrigeration keeps it around longer.
And for home cooks who prefer to bake their own rather than buy a Georgia fruitcake? Parker advises not to skimp on the flavor.
"We say that if you're going to make a fruitcake, use plenty of good stuff: plenty of candied cherries, candied pineapple, Georgia pecans and just make sure that you put more fruit and nuts in than you do batter. A good light pound cake batter recipe works well and you put in, say, 50 percent fruits and nuts, 50 percent cake, you'll come out with a good fruitcake," he said.

GEORGIA GROWN PROFILE: Georgia Grown Promotions

Retailer's sales go back to benefit membership program

Mail to: Published by the Ga. Department of Agriculture Gary W. Black, Commissioner

By Beth Mohler, fall intern
Georgia Grown Promotions was founded by Steve Langston and Roush Vance in an effort to help manage the development and sales of official Georgia Grown merchandise.
"We launched the Georgia Grown website literally at the same time that we had our first `field' assignments of getting Georgia Grown merchandise to the Perry Fair and Sunbelt Expo in Moultrie," Co-founder Steve Langston said. "We quickly realized that there was a healthy desire for this Georgia Grown merchandise across the state of Georgia."
The company is the official licensee of Georgia Grown and works hand-in-hand with the Department Langston said. Georgia Grown Promotions sells to retailers, runs online stores and attends fairs and craft shows, all to support Georgia Grown. A portion of the proceeds from the sales go

back into the program. "We're waving the Georgia Grown flag and making Georgia
Grown merchandise available all over the state," Langston said. Georgia Grown Promotions is proud of the fact that most of the products featured are made exclusively within the state. "Our T-shirts are manufactured in Wilkes County Georgia, while our hats are made in Waycross. If certain products are not made in Georgia, they're definitely made in the US. No imported goods here," Langston said. Georgia Grown Promotions offers a wide variety of products including hats, aprons and baby clothes, as well as cups and gift baskets. "Whether you live in Georgia and want to wear proudly your Georgia Grown shirt, or you're from out of
state and want to remind people of your Georgia roots or connections, wearing your Georgia Grown makes sense," Langston said.

TAKE 5: New leadership at Georgia Cattlemen's Association

1. Tell us a little about yourself and how you got involved in agriculture.
I am from Thomaston, Ga. I grew up on a cattle operation. We run about 85 Angus-based mama cows we've had them my entire life. We've always been involved in agriculture. My dad was in soybean farming for a while, too. That was kind of how I got involved in it; I don't ever remember not being in it.

2. When did your interest in Georgia Cattlemen's Association come

about?

I came up through working with Georgia Junior Cattlemen's As-

BENTLEY

sociation. I was part of that growing up, and part of the Mid-Georgia Cattlemen's. I just always wanted to work with GCA. It was kind of my

ultimate job to work with Georgia Cattlemen's Association. When the opportunity came avail-

able, I got it [as the director of association services], and I stepped in and started doing some

of the executive vice president duties while we didn't have anybody in place. When they asked

me to interview, I was thrilled and took the opportunity and got blessed to get it.

3. What are you most excited about in your new role?
I'm excited about the opportunity to be more involved with some of the policy work and more involved with working with the University of Georgia. I'm excited about the opportunity to get in front of more groups and really the opportunity to promote the cattle industry and beef in Georgia. I already had a chance to do it in my last position, but now it's an opportunity to do it all in expanded fashion.

4. What are some responsibilities of the executive vice president?
We are a volunteer-led organization, so the executive vice president really works with all the committees that are involved with GCA and does the business of our members. We do a lot of the work whether it be at the local, state or national level with policy work. We are a two-hat state, meaning I work for the Georgia Cattlemen's as well as the Georgia Beef Board. With that position we promote our industry and promote beef around the state at different trade shows and events.

5. What are some of your goals this year for GCA and Georgia Beef Board?
First and foremost, we're all about our members. We're trying to grow our membership to 6,000. That's probably more of a two- or three-year goal, but we think that can happen soon. We want to continue working with UGA and ABAC and other institutions to provide educational opportunities to our members, and just to be as effective as possible in Atlanta at the state house and Washington when necessary. Our Young Cattlemen's Council is getting started for our cattle producers 18 to 40 years old. We're trying to do a lot of stuff that's not only educational, but fun and interactive for that age group.

Will Bentley is the new executive vice president of Georgia Cattlemen's Association and Georgia Beef Board. He received his bachelor's degree from Shorter College and previously served GCA as the director of association services. For more information about GCA and GBB, visit www.georgiacattlemen.org or contact Bentley at 478-474-6560 or will@gabeef.org.

2014 GATE cards expire Dec. 31
Producers are reminded to renew their Georgia Agricultural Tax Exemptions Cards for 2015. The GATE program, administered by the Department, is governed by the Georgia Department of Revenue's Sales and Use Tax Offices.
To apply for a GATE card, individuals must verify that they are agricultural producers or processors and provide documentation to that effect. They must also meet a minimum $2,500 threshold in agricultural goods produced.
Farmers are not required to obtain a GATE card, but if they do, the GATE card must be used appropriately. Cards should be used to make sales tax-exempt purchases on agricultural inputs for a specific crop production.
For example, a farmer who qualified for a GATE card under beef cattle production can use the card to make purchases on items such as cattle feed, medicine, fencing materials or other items that will be used 100 percent exclusively for their beef cattle operation. Some producers may qualify in multiple areas. A beef cattle producer may also produce and sell $2,500-plus of beef cattle, hay and corn annually. In this case the cardholder can use their card in each of those areas.
The Department continues to monitor GATE card usage at the application level, through reports of abuse or complaints and by sharing its database with the Department of Revenue. Throughout the year, strategic and random database reviews are performed to ensure applications are properly completed and ineligible business operations are not participating. In addition, the Department of Revenue has two auditors dedicated to ensuring the integrity of the program.
Georgia Commissioner of Agriculture Gary W. Black has the authority to revoke GATE cards at any time if abuse is suspected, and the Department can prevent revoked accounts from renewals.
GATE cards can be renewed online for $20, or via mail or phone for $25.

agriCULTURE
Letter from the editor
Many of us, I'm sure, have heard the parable of the mustard seed. It's a story of biblical origin: Jesus told his followers that the mustard seed, the smallest of all seeds, grows into a huge garden plant, a plant so big that birds can perch in it.
I glean two meanings from this parable: one, big things come from small packages; and two, great things come from humble beginnings.
Take Claxton Fruit Cake, for instance. If you've never been there, I'm sure you'll find it hard to believe that the only display advertising for this company consists of maybe six billboards down Highway 301. I didn't even see any driving down Interstate 16. So how on Earth did a multi-million-pound-of-fruitcake-company make it to world-renowned status with six billboards and the occasional spot on a home shopping network?
A mustard seed. Not, like, an actual mustard seed. To my knowledge there aren't mustard seeds in Claxton Fruit Cake. Nor are there mustard seeds in American Gra-Frutti's or the Monastery of the Holy Spirit's versions. The mustard seed I'm talking about is a theoretical one, a word of mouth advertisement. When Savino Tos opened his bakery in 1910, it took one person to say, "Hey y'all, I kinda like this stuff" to jumpstart an industry. That word of mouth-slash-theoretical mustard seed was a pretty humble beginning that spread and was nurtured by quality and customer service and grew into an incredibly great business. Care to know what else thrives on this kind of mustard seed? This paper you're holding in your hands right now. You're probably familiar with the history of the Farmers and Consumers Market Bulletin. It's 97 years young. It started in 1917 as a weekly price bulletin for farmers to see what commodities were going for, long before futures markets and the Internet and the 24-hour news cycle. That was a pretty humble beginning, but look where we are now! Despite all the hardships budget cuts, threats to stop printing the Bulletin, that year not so long ago when the legislature stopped funding it with taxpayer dollars we're still kickin'. And it's all because of your mustard seed and your mama's mustard seed and her daddy's mustard seed and his aunt's mustard seed. The Bulletin doesn't advertise. We don't even have six billboards. Heck, we can't hardly afford a new pack of highlighters in the office! We're still here not because we rake in thousands of dollars in advertising. We're here because you are planting your little mustard seed with your neighbors, with your church friends, with your dog-walkers, telling them that you enjoy this newspaper and you think they will, too. This is me being super transparent: we want everyone in Georgia to have a subscription to the Market Bulletin. Not just because more subscribers means more money, which means more opportunities to do cool stuff like the calendar and gift guide and maybe a crossword puzzle or two, but because our staff legitimately believes that there's something tucked in these 12 pages for everyone to enjoy. I came up with a list of ways to help plant your mustard seed for the Market Bulletin, to help us grow into something as incredible and world-renowned as Georgia's fruitcakes ... * Do you cook? Great! The Market Bulletin has at least one recipe in every issue. They're recipes created by Georgians, for Georgians, featuring Georgia products. You can even send in your own recipe for publication! Oh, yeah, and they're also pretty delicious. The editor tries them all, and even though she can't stand kale or broccoli, even she has to admit that Georgia cooks come up with some pretty tasty green things! * Your garden is glorious! I need to get you in touch with Arty Schronce, the garden columnist for the Market Bulletin. He writes every issue about plants that grow well in Georgia, where to find them and how to raise them. He also loves questions and suggestions from readers, so you can write him and inspire a future column! * You're a farmer and you don't get the Bulletin? Yes, I know you have to pay for it now, but let me tell you, it's well worth it. Subscribers can still advertise in the paper for no additional charge. There are a slew of stories about Georgia's food, fiber and farming industries, and the editor is always looking for story ideas. Like that huge cotton crop you just harvested wasn't that a record-breaker? You should tell them about it! I'm sure they'd love to share your story! * You're not a farmer at all. OK, well, do you eat? Do you cook? Do you garden? Do you like to read? Yeah, I knew there was one of those you could answer "yes" to! The Bulletin is geared toward educating about and embracing Georgia agriculture. It features not only farmers, but restaurants, food businesses, agritourism and a whole bunch of other things you'll be hard-pressed to find in other publications for just $10 a year. Dallas Duncan is the editor of the Market Bulletin. Originally from Evans, Ga., she graduated in May 2011 with a double major in animal science and agricultural communi-
cation from the University of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences.
She previously worked for The Red & Black, The Times newspaper in Gainesville, Ga., and Georgia Cattlemen's Association.

Spiced nuts

FEATURE RECIPES:
Microwave peanut brittle

Editor's Note: Hosting a holiday gathering? Set out plates of these easy-to-make nuts for your guests to munch on before the main course! We recommend using Georgia pecans and peanuts. The recipe makes about six cups.

Ingredients: 2 large egg whites 2/3 cup sugar 2.5 tablespoons bay-style seasoning 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce teaspoon cayenne pepper

teaspoon salt 3 cups pecans 3 cups peanuts cup butter melted 1/3 cup finely grated parmesan cheese

Instructions: 1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. 2. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Grease lightly and set aside. 3. In a large bowl, beat egg whites to a meringue-like consistency. Gradually add in
sugar, bay seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne pepper and salt. 4. Stir in nuts and butter and coat evenly. Add parmesan cheese and stir gently. 5. Divide nuts between the two baking sheets in a single layer. Bake 30 to 40 minutes,
rotating sheets to allow for even cooking. Don't allow nuts to darken too much. 6. Line a work surface with parchment paper. Slide nuts on the surface to cool
completely. Store refrigerated in airtight containers or storage bags for up to three weeks.

Editor's Note: We love the idea of giving this brittle as a "gift in a jar" to someone on your holiday list! Simply break the brittle into manageable pieces, put them in a canning jar and secure with ribbon and ornaments of your choice. You can make this outside of the holiday season and use for a hostess gift, birthday present or bring it to a housewarming! To clean your dishes after making this tasty treat, Georgia Grown Senior Executive Chef Holly Chute recommends soaking in hot soapy water.
Ingredients: 1 cup sugar cup light corn syrup 1 heaping cup raw peanuts 1/8 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon butter 1 to 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract 1 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions: 1. Combine sugar, corn syrup, peanuts and
salt in a microwavable bowl. 2. Microwave on high for four minutes. Stir,
then microwave an additional four minutes. 3. Mix in butter and microwave for two to four
minutes until the mixture starts to turn a deep golden color. 4. Stir in vanilla and baking soda, mixing quickly. Mixture will be light and foamy. 5. Pour quickly onto a buttered baking sheet and spread as thin as possible. Let cool. 6. Break into pieces and store in air-tight containers.
