Good Old Fruitcake

This recipe is my great grandma’s, typed up on an old typewriter, complete with her signature. Now, I have to admit… I’ve never in my 35 years on this earth tasted any other fruitcake, so I’m definitely biased. However, let me say this: My husband never cared for fruitcake until he tried this one. This one he loves. So maybe you can take his word that it’s a good one. I love the almost stained glass-window-look when you slice into the cake and reveal a cross cut of all those brightly colored candied fruits. This is definitely a sweet cake. Very sweet. But I love it. It’s also satisfyingly heavy. When I make it with my mom, she has 4 smaller loaf pans that we bake it in. But all I have is normal size (8×4) loaf pans, so that’s what I bake mine in. I was curious about how much each loaf weighs, so I got my kitchen scale out. Each loaf weighs in at just over 3 pounds! I hope you give this recipe a try this Christmastime. If you already like fruitcake, you’ll love this one. And if you don’t care for it, maybe this recipe will change your mind. Oh! And you can find all the nuts and candied fruit at our store.
