You don’t like fruit cake during the holidays? Well, that’s only because you haven’t had this fruit cake.

Tri-C’s Karen Monath recently visited the Fox 8 Morning Show to make “My Mother’s Drunken Fruit Cake.” As the name suggests, it is a recipe handed down from Chef Karen’s mother.

The chef walked Fox 8’s Kristi Capel through the recipe while culinary student Stephen Watkins demonstrated how to put the ingredients together to make the tasty holiday treat. Watch the segment and find the recipe by visiting the Fox 8 website.

Chef Karen — who is the associate dean of the College’s Hospitality Management program — has become a regular visitor on the Morning Show. Previously, she dropped in for Recipe Box segments on making homemade pierogi; a tasty ham, bean and barely soup; and an award-winning shrimp ceviche.
