It now gets sealed in glad wrap, and fed whisky once a week until Xmas.

You don't spend enough time with fruitcakes already?

... they were probably as edible now as they were on the day they were baked, although 'forged' was a better term.

Looking at that, I can see from where Terry Pratchett got his inspiration for the Discworld's 'dwarf bread'.

Delicious! Save me a piece! (And may God save us all from ignorant barbarians!)

Gob, I've been an out-of-the-closet fruitcake lover for quite a few years now. If friends come over I no longer have to pretend to use my fruitcakes as doorstops, footstools, or auto jack stands. I now freely display them on my kitchen counter, especially with slices missing.

I now proudly proclaim, "Hello, my name is Ray... and I enjoy eating fruitcake."

Between here and work, probably.....

Looks lovely! I too am a fruitcake aficionado; one of my keen lamentations over the loss of the elder generation is that there are no more homemade fruitcakes at holiday gatherings.

Do you share your recipe?

It was my first attempt at a Xmas cake, so I used this recipe, but did some variations on it.
