My mom and dad always made a trip to the A & P to buy a Jane Parker fruitcake every December, until first the A & P stopped selling the cakes and then they closed the A & P.

German Stollen is the way to go.
A light fruitcake-like bread.
Slather butter on a slice...Mmmm...

My great aunt and my grandmother made it every Christmas.
My mom tried a few times - but she never really got the hang of it.
Making it successfully is on MY bucket list.

Give it a try!
If you are lucky it'll be pretty good.
Not as good as my Aunt Clara's - but that is too much to hope for!

That’s almost 1,000 miles — the length of the whole country — from Palermo

I don’t think 1000 miles is right.

I’ve never had it, but I understand you can make good French Toast or breakfast strata from it.

I have a very good fruit cakecrecipe from Better Homes and Gardens twenty years ago. No glaceed fruit at all, it uses dried fruit, pears, peaches, cherries.

“Aldi has German Stollen...never tried it...might try one.”

My sister just gave me an Aldi’s German Stollen (Aldi’s is a German owned grocery store here in the U.S.) for Christmas. They are very good indeed. Get Stollen made with real butter, not with Marzipan. So much better when made with butter.

when you get one done correctly, they are pure heaven—aromatic, mysteriously sweet but not overly sweet and they last for many weeks after opening without getting moldy or stale. it is like a miracle food
