Awwww, come on @Tinkrbl44! You can surely see from the comments that there are people who love a good fruit cake, and while I hadn't planned on commenting, my hubby and I are included in this group! No need to throw in a negative comment to a topic that everyone else was enjoying!

Ladies, enjoy. I never cared for candied fruit.

I am trying the Beatrice Fruitcake this year due to the many positive remarks for it.

This thread really took me by surprise ..... since fruitcakes are practically the top discarded holiday gift, why waste money on something that ends up in someone's garbage? JMO
@Tinkrbl44 Your reply took me by surprise at the insensitivity and negativity.
To many people the fruitcake DOES NOT end up in the garbage. There are many delicious fruitcakes one can bake or purchase.

@deepwaterdotter @ciao_bella I'm intrigued with mincemeat having never cooked with it before. Does this fruitcake recipe create a heavy fruitcake? Or is it lighter like a banana or pumpkin bread? Could more fruit or nuts be added without affecting the end result?

@Ainhisg I would say this fruitcake is on the heavier/denser side. I think adding extra fruit/nuts would be fine. I've even added a little apricot brandy to the mixture. I think you'll be fine with the results.

My DH is from the ''''old-old''' school - and every Christmas, he always asks for a JANE PARKER FRUITCAKE . They were sold in the old ''A & P Stores, back in the day. There are sold on Amazon.com with good reviews. I don't eat fruit cakes so I can't give you my opinion - but he loves them.

@ciao_bella, OP again. Do you sift the flour before measuring or measure and then sift? TY!
