I have always liked fruitcake. Well maybe not always, if I am honest I would have to admit that the candied fruit took some time getting used to, but when touted as a grown-up acquired taste I was eager to like it! Besides as an afternoon treat served with cream cheese and a cup of hot tea I really did enjoy it.
After I was married and had my own household, I actually made fruitcake as gifts for several years until I realized that others didn't share my enthusiasm. It was even worse with my kids. For about ten years they had a fruitcake that they shared by re-gifting it every year. One year it was left on the floor too long and the ants got it. End of fruitcake.
Last year my daughter surprised me with a very good fruitcake that she had ordered. It is wonderful but I could only eat about one fourth of it. They truly do last forever. I am enjoying a slice as I write this!
