It's never been my thing and the only time i would eat it is if my

grandmother would make it. She would make it with just the pineapple

and the green things and nuts. I always hated dates and raisins which

Since she's been gone for 19 years i haven't eaten anyone's fruit cake since.

My uncle makes a fruit cake every christmas and you can smell the liquor drenching from

that sucker.

I don't like raisins, either. But the lovely thing about making fruitcake is that you can use whatever kind of fruit you like. You just look at how much fruit the recipe calls for in total (a pound or whatever), then use any kind of dried fruit or candied peel.

In my Christmas pudding, I usually use dried cherries, cranberries, blueberries, pears, dates and figs. No raisins. No apricots.

Sorry , for the emotes. But I'd rather have a red velvet cake instead of fruit cake. I don't like the taste of fruit cake.

wow, I had no fruitcake this Christmas, maybe I'll have my mom make a special one for the New Years

u would have to be a fruitcake 4 making one, too much farting about when the shops sell great ones.

I think they're just peel and cherries that have been dyed. But why? Cherries are s'posed to be red, fer cryin' out loud!

I'm starting to regret that I didn't make Christmas pudding this year. Fortunately, I still have some from last year in the 'frig.

And I'm pretty sure I can persuade my mom to make some before I go to Arizona at the end of January. Hell, she might even make it without me asking - since I ask for it every year!

what part of az r u going 2, i live n chandler!!!

I lived in Ahwatukee for a little while. I miss AZ

i love fruitcake ~ esp with custard on top
