My Mom used to give each of us kids a fruitcake each year at Christmas, which I think we all enjoyed. Several years ago, I wanted to continue her tradition, so I ordered mine from Claxton, as illustrated in picture. it wasn't the same company, and I don't know where she got them from. Claxton's weren't as good as the ones she gave us each year.

Try Amazon Larry, they are the same that I would get from the grocery store that sells out around here.

Thanks for your yay vote. I try and tally near the end or beginning of the page.

I’ve been reading about soaking the fruitcake in rum or bourbon and I was just wondering, do they ever spoil?

Never had one long enough around the house to find out Jer. It is like anything chocolate. No self control what so ever.

I understand that. I guess I just never had a good one. They have seemed to arrive hard as a brick. I’m not willing to get one when there are so many choices, and yes, chocolate is one of them. 😉

I guess like anything else you could slice off a piece with a chainsaw ( if required ) and microwave it.

Neighbor gave us some home made really thick bread in density and I just made some French toast with it. Ended up we both have a piece left over it was that filling. So going to nuke that some morning to see if that is possible.
