Fruit Cake?

[SvilleKid]

I actually love fruit cakes. Our best friends both like them also. The Claxtons this year were actually the freshest I think I've ever seen from them.

But, even better than the store brought ones are the ones my mother makes! Her recipe, like Alton Brown's, contains fresh nuts and dried fruits, and beats the heck out of things with the "colored" fruits!
