Fruit Cake
 

I know that most folks don't care for fruit cake, but I like it, just can't eat it anymore. My mother made one every year, and I never saw anyone turn down a slice, or two. Her secret was Peach Brandy, and how it was applied! Buy a fruit cake, and a pint of Peach Brandy. Put the fruit cake in a good sealed cake holder. Apply the Brandy daily for at least 1 month. Mop it on, don't pour it on. Let it soak in slowly. Keep it covered so nothing evaporates!:D Use the whole pint of brandy! When you cut it should be really moist, and really good!

I always thought is was disgusting, then I had a piece of Amaretto fruit cake last year and I couldn't get enough of it.

Re: Fruit Cake
 

They are usually very dry, some some good spirits really makes a difference! I have never tried the Amaretto, but I would bet my last dollar that it is wonderful!

Sounds REALLY GOOD, Carver! My Mom used to make it when I was a kid, and I never liked it much. When I was in Nam, I ate the C Ration fruit cake and really liked it. I now make it every year - tastes like the C Rat stuff. I use extra pecans and dried cherries in mine. I think the difference was Mom used the dried dates and the other hard dried fruits. Peach brandy? - gotta try it.

I got a fruit cake for christmas in 1990. I gave it as a gift the next year. Now it's a family tradition, this same cake gets sent to a different family member every year. Some have gotten it 4 or 5 times. Damn thing is 22 years old, luckly, some of us have grandkids to pass it on to. Maybe some prepper would like to have it.

I didn't really like fruit cake growing up. I do now and not only that I make a fruit cake for my sister as one of her Christmas presents and my Mom asked me to bake her one too.

Our recipe was my Mammaw's that started out as a prune cake. It has pecans, prunes, raisins, dates, candied cherries, and the usual spices. I'll post the recipe in the next day or so. I love it.

Many years ago my wife and I started a

"Fruit Cake Rescue Program".

Anyone that got one that didn't like them

we encouraged them to send it to us.

Re: Fruit Cake
 

I love fruit cake, but WAY too high in calories. I haven't had it in years.

Re: Fruit Cake
 

All right, that's it. I've been reading this post for a month and I've seen the fruit cakes in the stores. I've had enough. I can't take it anymore. I'm going out tomorrow and getting one and I'm going to eat the whole thing.:D

Re: Fruit Cake

Now I can see that some of you guys are just plain sick in the head. I have tried it several times in my life and the stuff is just sickening. I'm pretty concerned for you guys. :eek::D
