You don't spend enough time with fruitcakes already?

Looking at that, I can see from where Terry Pratchett got his inspiration for the Discworld's 'dwarf bread'.... they were probably as edible now as they were on the day they were baked, although 'forged' was a better term.

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

Delicious! Save me a piece! (And may God save us all from ignorant barbarians!)
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

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."

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.
