Fruit Cake - you either love it or hate it. And, if you love it, you probably have your own special recipe. This treat is The Swiss Colony Christmas Fruit Cake
and is available from amazon.com
.
If you would rather try a homemade cake, there are plenty of recipes available. This vintage recipe probably is not what you would normally think of when someone mentions fruit cake, but it is delicious. I like to mix in some golden raisins and currants. It comes out similar to my Grandmother's Applesauce Cake. Do you have a favorite fruit cake recipe?
