Advent Calendar 2012 - Fruitcake – Friend or Foe?
My Grandmother spotted this Christmas Cake recipe in a copy of Woman Magazine, and since then both my Mum and I have used it.

wow, that actually looks very much like my recipe, a Christmas Cake in Ireland.
ReplyDeleteI still call it that in NJ, because the word fruitcake sets some people off.
That's a well used and well loved recipe. I'm a fan of homemade fruitcake :).
ReplyDeleteI can't say that I'm a fruitcake fan...
ReplyDeleteLooks like a treasured recipe for sure!
ReplyDeleteMy husband likes fruitcake but we haven't made it.

Fantastic that you still have it. Good that you now have it electronically too.
ReplyDeleteOh I love that you still have the original. Lots of years of memories on that well-worn page.
ReplyDeleteI love recipes in their original form - tells a story right there!
ReplyDeleteGreat image!
ReplyDeleteWow - very cool! I've never made a fruitcake, and the ones I've tried I haven't been much of a fan of... but maybe this one would change my mind. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI am getting ready to mix up my fruitcake tomorrow. Wish I could enlarge this recipe so I'd be sure to get the perfect cake! I sort of overcooked them last year. all were eaten none the less.
ReplyDeleteKristin, if you click the image it should enlarge. If not I can always see if I can email you the enlarged versio
DeleteI like the look of a well-used recipe -it looks like mine!
