I am probably one of the few people who actually like fruit cake (in small doses). Might actually try this for the holidays. Thanks for posting the recipe.

Hey Sweetie, I miss your compliments, where have you been. I miss you. I love fruitcake (the drunken kind) but I can't deal with the candied fruit, so I use dried fruit marinated in rum or brandy. This recipe sounds very good. You have my 5. Have a good night, w/ hugs....Cheryl
