That fruit cake column was cute ;)...

I made fruit cake from scratch once.......ONCE
It was... ‘good’ ...but real expensive to make with all the candied and dried fruit and nuts. The recipe made a ton of it....tried to give some away - no luck....froze most of it eventually and threw it away after a week long power outage :)

I do dabble yearly in consuming fruit cake - it’s an interesting concoction. Bought one of those Claxton FC’s last week (just because) and doused it in Rum inside a ziplock bag to bring it to life :>)

....maybe I just like rum.....

(sorry, I forgot to post a new thread last Saturday - oops)

Has anyone ever tried to made a Christmas pudding? Does anyone understand the attraction?

Back before I retired, for almost a decade, one of our fund wholesalers would send me one from either Harrod's or Marks & Spencer...I for one couldn't stand it...after the first year it went into the recycled gift bin..to be trotted out next year to some poor unsuspecting soul..
