I like the fact that there is not that much candied fruit in it... but I think it need some brandy or rum added to it even if it is just an extract...this recipe and photo are from oops I don't know.

I don't know why fruitcake gets such a bad rap, there are some great ones out there, and this looks like one of them. Thanks and 5 forks.
