The holiday cake I like is a whiskey cake that's filled with raisins and walnuts. No candied fruits, though.Susan Flett Swiderskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425315552148200073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471107802247799161.post-76604511599256255262011-11-07T18:42:11.746-05:002011-11-07T18:42:11.746-05:00Mmm.

We always wish that all those people who "donate" their unwanted fruitcakes would send them our way!<br /><br />However, I have my Grandma's old recipe and it's wonderful. She was from KY, so it probably qualifies as "Old South". She made her fruitcakes right after Christmas and soaked them all through the year, keeping them wrapped in cheesecloth in her dark pantry.<br /><br />Maybe I'll have to go make some in the next day or two since no one seems to be sending any unwanted ones our way~Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16602096751376024068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471107802247799161.post-83299529154652220542011-11-07T12:40:20.582-05:002011-11-07T12:40:20.582-05:00I've never met a fruitcake I didn't like. ...I've never met a fruitcake I didn't like. But yours is definitely superior. I resent wise cracks about these venerable holiday traditions. Every comic seems to think he shares a common loathing of these tasty morsels.Rollie Kellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04404783252284121329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471107802247799161.post-55851639451028285432011-11-07T09:08:12.065-05:002011-11-07T09:08:12.065-05:00I have to tell you.

With out them, I'd probably be on board... but they make me think of the bright colors on the backs of frogs, you know, the ones that more or less say "I'm poisonous."<br /><br />Maybe someday I'll be brave enough to try (a light) one.A.

Maybe I should try taking a bite sometime with my eyes closed?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
