I make my Fruit Cake from the Pumpkin Bread Recipe.

Using only the pretty red & green Candied Cherries and candied Pineapple, the kind that is made for Fruit Cake. Lots of nuts. The spices of the Pumpkin Bread recipe makes the difference, so yummy.

It is delicious, and the only Fruit Cake my kids will eat.

My brother sends me one every year from Corsicana, Tx. it is the best for a bought fruit cake, but I give it away.....

Do you pour a bottle of rum over your fruit cake? I had one like that made by a co-worker years ago at a “multi-culti” pot luck we had at the office on New Year’s Eve day (or something like that). She was from Jamaica and she served the cake in little tiny pieces, like petite four size.

Which was good, because even with that small piece the rum went right to your head. It was delicious.

Good old S., I think of her often, she really was a bit of a domestic goodness. She did beautiful tiny lace like crochet too.
