A Tale of Two Fruitcakes


It can be the best of cakes, the worst of cakes, it makes the mouth water, it makes a good door stop...

All joking aside, I have a confession to make. I love fruitcake. There I finally said it.

Now, I know what you are thinking--EWWW! Right? Stop right there. I’m not talking about store bought fruitcake. I’m also not talking about the kind that contains fluorescent bits that kind of resemble fruit. Nope. I’m talking about homemade fruitcake. The kind made with dried fruit, real candied citrus and fed a healthy dose of booze. Mmm... I’m getting hungry just typing this.
