Christmas fruitcake..........

[jltrent]

I usually get one every year through the holidays. They are loaded with fruit and nuts. Does anybody else like them or make their on?

Don't care for them. Plenty of other choices that are just as bad for me that I like more.

My grandma shopped there when I was young and would give us fruit cakes and other stuff from there to eat at Christmas time. Most stuff they sell is pretty good. IMO

My wife makes really good fruitcakes. She has a few different types. Sometimes i even put a piece in a bowl and pour custard over it like a pudding. I get a few strange looks but the more the merrier!

I like them but that Corsicana bakery has just gotten too dang high.

I don't care for them. My dad would make one every year but his recipe called for a number of soakings of rum. He took care of that thing like it was child for those couple of weeks.

That is a lot of fruit cake. A small slice at a time that might last til next Christmas.

My mother and grandmother used to make fruitcakes and put bourbon in them. Those were good. I've never had a store bought one I liked.

I heard that fruitcakes can be stored for years and years ?

Yes they can if made right. My wife kept a tier of our wedding cake for our first anniversary, tasted fine and was still moist. Seemed a bit scary to me as i had never heard of it before but you know, happy wife happy life and all that.

Plenty of fruitcakes on CT. Didn't see any reason to buy one at the store :hide: :lol2: I'm only kidding. Couldn't resist the opportunity. :tiphat:

Even though the Corsicana factory is just 10 miles from my ranch they are not really liked much in this area. They had a running joke for years on what to to with one that you got for Christmas, kinda like spam jokes.

For the last 5 years I've resorted to shaving once a week. Every Sunday morning. Couldn't stand looking at something so purdy any more often than that :lol2:
