Re: Anyone actually like Fruitcake?

I like fruit cake with just nuts, pineapple and cherries.  I have lost a recipe that had no raisins or other citrus fruits in it and it was good. I need to find that again. Some of the ones sold out in the marketplace is what gives fruitcake a bad name and some of them are bitter as someone mentioned earlier. 

Merry Christmas and enjoy your gifts of fruitcakes.  lol

So far, I have four of them............and I'm going out looking for more today!     (They have been hard to find in stores in recent years.)

I love fruitcake.  I just ordered one from Collin Street Bakery.  My grandmother used to make fruitcake cookies.  I looked forward to them every year.

I love fruitcake.  I make homemade fruitcake every year and people love it.  It is very expensive to make.

I love fruitcake but no nuts! Claxton makes a really good one . They make small ones , lucky for me because it calls out to me in the middle of the night especially. Glad to see others still like it! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!Maryanne

Add me to the list of fruitcake lovers.  I don't think I ever heard of this bakery that so many of you are talking about, but I'm headed to their website right now.  I'd love to try one of theirs!

Re: Anyone actually like Fruitcake?

No, I don't like all that candied fruit.  When my husband's mother was alive, she baked it and would send him one, which he said was excellent.
