Tis the Season For... Fruit Cake!
Why, oh WHY doesn't anyone have my mother's fruit cake recipe?! Shame on everyone for losing it, including Mom.
This was a fruit cake she used to make for the family and contained no alcohol. I can't even imagine eating a fruit cake doused in liquor. Yuck. I remember lots of sugar, butter, flour, eggs, and containers of candied fruit. And nuts, but if I were to make it today, I'd leave the nuts out. Seems like such a simple recipe, and I vaguely remember equal portions of ingredients, like 4 cups of sugar, 4 cups of flour, 4 eggs, etc. But, maybe that's not right.
If anyone comes across the recipe, please share!!
