5 large eggs

2 teaspoons lemon zest, freshly grated

2 teaspoons orange zest, freshly grated

Sounds very pretty (and tasty too). I agree with you about citron, and I suggest you candy your own pink grapefruit peel--much much better.

This sounds so good! I hate those nasty cherries that are in 'regular' fruitcake - they are so sickly sweet. This is definitely on my to-make list for next Christmas. Thanks for sharing! - Natalie

Hubby just came in from work sick so I gotta make this quick.. thanks for you comments and some fives. If you get a minute, pie, can you tell me how to do the grapefruit peel? That sounds very interesting. See you tomorrow.. unless Ed stays home.
