Beansnbacon33,
Fwiw, I never liked any sort of fruitcake until I met/lassoed my Texas Cowboy BUT his G-G-G-GM's (pre mid-1800s) recipe out of Marshal County, MS is in a single word: WONDEREFUL.
It's sole problem is that I cannot pass it on a cake-stand W/O having "just a few bites". - It's definitely addictive.
