I think I'm the only person in the world who likes fruit cake.

My mother really likes it, so I make sure to get a small one just for her every year. I like it with candied cherries, but not all that other fruit.

Me too, I like it with Cherries too, but the best one is Claxton Fruit Cake from Claxton Ga.

There is good fruitcake, and there is ewwww fruitcake. The higher priced one has golden raisins, cherries and lots of nuts-and Rum!

The cheap stuff is this 4" square log at grocery stores that is full of black raisins and is nasty.

I make my own fruit cake and it is delicious.

I love Claxton fruit cake. We used to stop there on our way to Florida every winter when I was little. My mother was convinced they just pressed it together and didn't actually bake it because she could never smell anything baking near the bakery/factory.
There is a lot of BAD fruitcake out there that gives the good stuff a bad name. I love to make them every year. They make the kitchen smell like the holidays when they bake (hmm, maybe there was something to that Claxton theory)!

I have never met a fruitcake I liked but my DH enjoys "good fruitcake".

My MIL makes fruitcake "cookies", which are basically just mini fruitcakes, and they are wonderful. No mystery fruit or weird spices; just walnuts, raisins, candied cherries and pineapple in a mildly spiced batter. There is also a "Texas Fruitcake" I've had that is to die for! It has pecans, cherries, and chocolate chips and a little cinnamon and is very light; quite unlike the fruitcakes that are the brunt of so many jokes.

When I was a kid I was ok with it but now....

Myst

My husband made fun of me the other day for buying a fruitcake. I've always loved it.

My DH loves fruitcake so my mother makes sure he gets some every year. I just can't stomach the rubbery fruit(or the unnatural colors!). I'm allergic to pineapple and cranberry now so it gives me a reasonable excuse to not eat a lot of things

Never tried it- Never going to. That being said, when my Mom makes it, her house smells heavenly. Then you see those 40 pound loaves of bread and it's not so appetizing.
