There is no “season”. Fruitcake year-round says I.

Why is there a fruitcake Season?

My yearly batch has sat for a month or better now. It is in prime condition. I do make it as female (no nuts).

Im one of the few individuals I know who actually likes fruitcake. Here in Georgia, Claxton is where fruitcake is made and I have a buddy who sends me one as a joke.
Not a huge fruitcake fan, but Claxton is the best I've had.
My dad's VFW post used to sell them as a fundraiser, back in the 1970's.

I’m with ruffcut; love both fruitcake and mincemeat pie. MIL made fruitcake cookies that were delicious. I’ve been craving mincemeat pie about 4 years and can’t find the mincemeat. Must be a seasonal commodity. Can’t find pickled peaches either. Love the pickle juice with cloves in it.
