Does anyone here like fruitcake?
My mother's recipe is so good. It has just enough batter to hold the fruit and nuts together...4 cups of pecans make two full sized loaves. It calls for whole bottles of extracts, mucho butter, and of coarse, all that candied fruit.
I used to make it up in smaller containers, the week before Thanksgiving, wrap ithe loaves in cheesecloth, put in a big cooler, and douse with Apricot Brandy once a week.
My beloved hates fruitcake, (though he's never tasted mine), so I don't fix it anymore. But if anyone wants the recipe...it's a good one.
