King Arthur's Fruitcake

[browngirl]

The King Arthur Flour Blog posted a lovely article about fruitcake that made me wistful. Next year I really hope to resume my Fruitcake Project!

I hope you can, too. I've never asked to be included, but I've always been tempted (and would happily supply ingredients.)

What is your fruitcake project?

wakanomori (husband) is English, and when we were living with his parents, I learned how to make Christmas pudding from his mom--which is essentially a fruitcake: but **very moist** (it's cooked by being boiled for many hours, and then it soaks in alcohol for a month… and if I were going to have had it ready for Christmas this year, I'd have needed to start it a few weeks ago…)

… anyway, I like it very much. You pour brandy on it on Christmas day and set it on fire, and then eat it :-)
