AMISH FRIENDSHIP STARTER
1 c. sugar
1 c. milk
1 c. flour
Combine ingredients in a large, deep glass or plastic container. Cover lightly. If the container has a lid, leave it slightly open, or place a piece of cheesecloth over the container and secure it with a rubber band. Store at room temperature. Stir every day for 17 days. On the 18th day do nothing. On the 19, 20 and 21, stir. On day 22 stir and add 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar and 1 cup milk. Stir again. On days 23, 24, 25 and 26 stir. On day 27, add 1 cup flour, 1 cup milk and 1 cup sugar. Stir. You should have about 4 cups starter. Give 1 cup each to two friends and keep the remaining two cups for yourself.

CANNOLI SHELLS
3 c. sifted all-purpose flour
1 tbsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
3/4 c. port
Salad oil or shortening for deep-frying
1 egg yolk, slightly beaten
Sift flour with sugar and cinnamon onto a board. Make a well in center and fill with port. With a fork, gradually blend flour into port. When dough is stiff enough to handle, knead about 15 minutes, or until dough is smooth and stiff (if too moist and sticky, knead in a little more sifted flour). Refrigerate dough, covered for 2 hours.
In deep-fat-fryer, electric skillet, or heavy saucepan, slowly heat salad oil (3-4 inches deep), to 400 degrees on deep-frying thermometer.
Meanwhile, on lightly floured surface, roll 1/3 of dough to paper thinness, making a 16 inch round. Cut into 8 (5 inch) circles. Wrap a circle loosely around a 6 inch long Cannoli form or dowel, 1 inch in diameter; seal with egg yolk. Gently drop dough-covered forms, 2 at a time, into hot oil and fry 1 minute, or until lightly browned on all sides (turn if necessary). With tongs or slotted utensils, lift out of oil, and drain on paper towels. Carefully remove forms. Continue until all dough is used.
Cannoli shells can be made a day or two ahead and stored, covered, at room temperature. Fill shell about hour before serving. Makes 24.
FILLING:
3 lb. ricotta cheese
2 1/2 c. confectioners' sugar
1/4 c. semi-sweet chocolate pieces or grated sweet chocolate
2 tbsp. chopped citron
10 candied cherries, finely chopped
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
Chopped pistachio nuts (optional)
Confectioners' sugar
In a large bowl, with portable electric mixer, beat ricotta cheese 1 minute. Add 2 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar and beat until light and creamy, about 1 minute. Add chocolate, citron, cherries, cinnamon; beat at low speed until well blended. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Fill shell with mixture and garnish ends with pistachios; sprinkle tops with confectioners' sugar.
