Suppose it depends on if you had a good experience with the first fruitcake you tasted...so I can't figure out why it gets such a bad rap!I will admit I have baked my batch for this year...and will freeze some for next year...
Who else will be brave enough to admit baking this seasonal treat????
"There were plums and prunes and cherries(refrain from "Miss O'Leary's Irish Fruit Cake" sung by Pat Harrington on cd: Kiss Me I'm Irish [ck 53631]
And citrons and raisins and cinnamon too.
Nutmeg, cloves and berries
And the icing was light as the dew.
There was sugar and spice in abundance
Sure 'twas something an angel would bake.
You would kiss a gal twice after eating a slice
Of Miss O'Leary's Irish Fruitcake."
