😂🤣 

I like fruitcake. It's a dense panettone. ❤️ 

🤣🤣 Happy weekend to you too!!! 

Hahaha! 😁 I like some fruitcakes, mostly the edible kind. 😋 

Not one of my faves...but hubby loves em! 

😮🤣🤙🏼 

Haha so true of many over dense fruitcakes with strange candied fruit. In my family we make one with fresh apples (pear) tiny diced, orange zest, almonds, walnuts, dried apricots, dates, figs, crystalized ginger, cinnamon - pre mix in well buttered loaf pans; then the batter is equal parts butter, sugar (half can be brown), eggs, flour (added to mixer in that order) beat and pour over fruit/nuts and lightly mix; after baking medium oven poke holes in top and drizzle over 50/50 oj concentrate and grand marnier or cointreau. Sorry no extra measures as it is an old receipe that just winged it based upon what was in the kitchen but ratio of fruit to batter is about 3 to 1. 

Thank you for the recipe. 

Love fruit cake a little too much😋😋 

Erq, that sounds about right based on the taste!!💜😜😜😜 

I laughed Erg1 - that could be possible...My Mother-in-law used to make some of the very best Christmas fruit cakes - with cherries and dates and figs and raisins - etc. and it was so good. She was a great woman and I still miss her. 

So delicious, but really not on anyones weight loss diet. Splurge cautiously into that one! 

I do!! That’s why I started Doubling down December!! Last year I gained 20 pounds gorging on fruitcake!! I was a bad, bad girl!!🤷🏻‍♀️
