Recipe by jenne

Yep ANOTHER recipe for your Amish Starter. . .and this one is perfect for holiday gift giving. I lightened up the recipe a bit with sugar free jello, applesauce and much less sugar than traditional Friendship Bread recipe. I made mine into 5 mini loaves, but you could also make 2 large loaves and increase your cooking time.
