Fruit Cake?

Seth... I think I am the odd man out... I actually like fruit cake. Somewhere we have one around here that is VERY aged. It goes in a Lenox train table center piece and has never been cut. It has to be at least 10 years old. I can't imagine it is any good, but I would be glad to send it to you as I know how much you enjoy "aged" stuff

I luv good moist fruit cakes, my Mom used to make fabulous ones but not sure it was in the recipe collection left for me. Also though she made orange fruit cakes which I do have the recipe for and they are great too. Usually make one of those every year at Christmas.

I enjoy properly aged stuff.

And just to clarify, I imagine, just like a lot of people I have never had a well made fruit cake, and thus only think that I do not like them. The batter tasted good and I ate a couple crumbs that fell off and all tatsed very good, so we'll see.

Often making something yourself gives you a greater appreciation for that item.
