Tis the season for Fruitcake

[printcraft]

As long as it is not English frosted fruitcake, either of the above are approved for Yuletide consumption.

At the risk of exposing my Appalachian Porch Honky roots, my favorite is the little rectangular fruitcake blocks sold at Wal-Mart or Meijer.

That’s good stuff!^^^^^^^^^^

I have had some fruitcakes that were quite tasty.

My grandparents had a friend from church who made a very good Stollen, but I’m not a big fan of fruitcake.

Another Collin St fan here.
My KY MIL used to make her fruitcake the day after Tgiving. I was in charge of picking up a bottle of Makers Mark. She'd wrap it in cheesecloth, put it in a big tin, pour the bourbon over it, and it'd be ready for xmas.

My folks like the Collin Street one. I can't stand the stuff.

Boydens bakery on the south side have bunches of fruitcakes when I’m in there but I always try to keep my distance and not look them in the eye. I never get past the baby gators to try anything else.

Texas Manor fruit cakes are great too. Texas Manor Fruitcake Rings

I know her husband. Now that I know this video exists, I'm trying to think of how to tease him with it.

Ok, I have ordered one from each, Collin and Texas Manor (YA-HOO Baking Co.) Will post the results of my taste test about 10 days from now.

​Wife and I both like it! Yuletide tradition!!!!

Ok folks... the results of my side-by-side taste test. Drum roll please...... and the winner is (pause for greater effect) Texas Manor Fruitcake by Ya-Hoo Baking Co.!!! However, Collin Street Bakery Fruitcake is a very good second. Of course this is only my opinion and yours may vary. I say you can't go wrong with either one, but do try both. Merry Christmas. Now to test Bourbon vs. Spiced Rum on each variety to find out which marinade is best, and I may not be back to report on this one!
