Fruitcake

[sarahlee]

What is the best brand of fruitcake to get for christmas? I've never ate fruitcake before cause I hear people say it's not that good. Could anyone tell me what the best one to get is? I'd like to try it.
Thank you.

It is not often i make a fruit cake, but it so much  better then most that are made.  Most of them sold in the department stores are not worth buying. Figi's makes a good one but it would really cost you. Since i am the only one who likes fruit cake i rarely make one. It can be frozen so i acan just get 1 slice out at a time and it last forever.

I like fruit cake.  I have a hard time in slicing it thinly.

We always got one from my grandma as a kid.....hated it every year.  No fond memories....maybe it's an adult thing.

I have never liked fruit cake.  I like my fruit individually.  I also hate jam cakes.

Harry and David's make a decent traditional fruitcake and they ship it in a tin which can be used again to store cookies or whatever.

I'm in the same boat as "everyone else" I don't care for fruitcake so, I wouldn't know what kind to tell you. Good luck!!

I don't care for fruitcake however I do agree Harry and Davis have a decent one

I don't know the brand, but I would know it if I saw it.  I love fruitcake!!    My dad used to be a bakery supply sales person and he would have the fruit and nuts along with cake mixes and more always around.  We would sneak and eat the fruit!!  So good!

I make a lovely fruitcake with bananas, avocado, pecans and walnuts. It's absolutely delicious but it does take an hour and a half to bake. I sometimes make it for people (teachers etc) to thank them for their hard work with our children.

  You know in all these years I have never even tried Fruitcake!! I am sure some are good, but mostly I hear that no body likes it and it just gets regifted to someone else next year...lol

Not sure if I have ever eaten fruitcake just never really had one available and if so maybe I just avoided I will try one day.

My favorite recipe for fruitcake was super easy and tasty.  It called for crushed vanilla wafers, candied fruit, dates and nuts.  It has been awhile since I made one so I don't remember the proportions-- also, it may have had an egg or two.  That was it.  There was just enough vanilla wafer crumbs to coat the fruit and help it stick together.  I packed it in an angel food cake pan (a bundt pan would work as well) and baked it.  Best fruitcake ever.
