This sounds so yummy. I want to make it for Thanksgiving at my parent's house but my father is allergic to raisins. Can I simply omit them?

Could not find 4.5 ounce cans of the fruit cocktail. Used an 11 ounce can instead and it was still dry after baking for 1 hour. Not sure what I did wrong. If anything, it should have been over moist because I used 2 more ounces of fruit cocktail than the recipe called for. It also seemed like 2 dozen doughnuts was too many. Maybe someone can shed some light on what I may have done wrong. I followed the recipe to the "T" except for the fruit cocktail portion. Any suggestions would be appreciated. It did taste good, but was a little dry.

Brandon is a very talented young man. It always does me good to see a "local" fellow do well. My cousin Sara Nelson was certainly a wonderful mentor to him. I can actually see some of her inspiration in some of his work. Keep up the beautiful work!

Big Lots carried many of your baking products for awhile and they suddenly disappeared. Is there any place in north east Ohio that sells your products?

Hey Shannon! The rum if added to taste. I would start with 1 teaspoon and go up from there. Personally, I like pungent rum flavor in my sauce, so I add 1 tablespoon of a dark rum. Happy Baking!
