I will be the first to say I've never met a fruitcake, I could eat. People have urged me to try the ones they loved ,saying this one is different. They are all different ...blech

In my book they are all terrible. I don't like the taste of  stuff soaked in alcohol. I don't like candied fruit, and most  if not all of the cakes are  as heavy as a brick.

I make a recipe called "White Fruitcake" that adds coconut and almonds to the normal glaceed fruit mixture.  It is best enjoyed with a cup of Constant Comment tea.

Years ago a place called Walnut Acre's sold a fruitcake that was made with whole wheat flour and real fruit in it. Fruit like, raisins, dates, cherries, dried apples and nuts, no booze. Now that was my kinda fruit cake, but they went out of business or sold the business.

My husband and my mother are the only two people on earth I know who like fruit cake.

Major yuck.

It's been years since I've eaten fruitcake. It's okay as long as it is very moist, has lots of pecans and just a little bit of the fruits called currants. By the way, I, too love a piping hot cup of Constant Comment tea.

😔  I have to admit I do. And I know darn well I'm in the minority.

I love fruitcake. Mom made one every year for Daddy from a receipe in Parade Magazine. It had choco chips, dates and red and green cherries. She would make it right after TG. She would then store it in a cool place and wrap it in brandy soaked cheese cloth.
