Grandma’s Old Fashioned Fruitcake Recipe
Grandmas Old Fashioned Fruitcake Recipe
"The problem with most store bought fruitcakes is that they’re normally very dry (some stale even) and lacking much flavor. In addition to the gummy bear fruit that they put in them these days, you might as well trade it out for a lump of coal! With this fruitcake however your getting to taste real fruit such as raisins, candied cherries and pineapples. With every bite you get a taste of holiday spirit due to the combining flavors of the fruit and moist cake. This is an all around festive treat for you to deliver to family and guest and one certainly that grandma will be proud you made. "
