 You either love it or you hate it! But most of us remember when some distant relative or employer gave your family a fruitcake in a tin for Christmas every year. It was always set aside, left untouched, except by maybe your Grandmother. ...The love of Fruitcake may be an acquired taste, but Fruitcakes definitely deserve another try. There are so many variations of this old-fashioned treat. Today, fruitcakes can be customized to your liking, with pecans, walnuts, raisins, cherries, apricots, pineapple, ginger, prunes, or dates. Even the ratio of fruit to cake can be tweaked to meet your taste and texture requirements. Fresh, homemade fruitcakes laden with fruits and/or nuts of your choice, can be show-stopping palate pleasers. Think about giving fruitcake another chance.

My mother and grandmother use to make some awesome fruitcakes!!! I've got to try yours, it looks delicious. Hello Mrs. Smalls! After spending most of my life ignoring, making fun of, and quickly discarding fruitcake, I tried one -- homemade, from scratch by my dear sister. And I loved it!! Being able to personally select which fruits, nuts, and flavorings are mixed into this big cake makes all the difference. xo Leave a Reply. |
