Fruitcake--Friend or Foe
Did you like fruitcake? Did your family receive fruitcakes? Have you ever re-gifted fruitcake? Have you ever devised creative uses for fruitcake?
I love fruitcake! The moist, rich kind is a favorite. I have tasted some that were dry and not so great, and probably most people who dislike fruitcake have had the same misfortune. I've never re-gifted a fruitcake, and in my opinion, there's only one good purpose for it: eating it!

Sounds like you have been very lucky with your fruitcake encounters! I've never been brave enough to give it a try.
ReplyDeleteColleen, it probably helped that my dad used to make it. Being exposed to it at an early age, in all its homemade goodness, definitely was a factor!
