I love fruitcake! I think they deserve their own thread!šŸ˜ƒ Iā€™m glad your recipe is like the one my family uses. It has no alcohol. Not that I have anything against alcohol, just not in fruitcake. A question, no nuts? Every other fruitcake recipe Iā€™ve seen is full of nuts. ---

Not that I have anything against alcohol, just not in fruitcake. Itā€™s optional as far as Iā€™m concerned - I do tend to put a splash of brandy in this one, but Iā€™m not really sure it makes much difference. I do feed my Christmas cakes with booze a lot. > [@](#): > > A question, no nuts? Every other fruitcake recipe Iā€™ve seen is full of nuts. Itā€™s weird - nuts arenā€™t a common ingredient in fruitcake in Britain - apart from ground almonds as an ingredient, or whole almonds on top of Dundee cakes, I donā€™t remember seeing any at all. ---

First, I wish to congratulate the OP on a really good opening post in her first Pit thread. I realize **curlcoat** largely avoids such things but hey, if youā€™re going to Pit someone and do a good job it should be acknowledged. > [@James\_Otto\_Sweet\_Heart](#): > > Oh and I donā€™t need anyoneā€™s permission to share what it is that I believe just like you didnā€™t need anyoneā€™s permission to start another chat about me in this area of the forum. You bring up a good point about not needing permission to share. Allow me to share my feelings with you. You are a self-righteous, sanctimonious asshole that enjoys hurting other people then excuses it and slathers it over with a holier-than-thou saccharine grimace. You _delight_ in saying people are going to hell, which only shows you are completely lacking empathy. If you truly believed people, real people, would suffer for eternity you might still say theyā€™re going to hell but youā€™d accompany it true expression of sadness, rending of garments, and actual tears of sorrow. You donā€™t. No, you enjoy rubbing salt in wounds. You are an unfeeling hypocrite and I have no doubt on Sunday morning you take your seat in the better-than-you pews at your church. The thing is, if your invisible sky pixie unicorn fairy did exist weā€™d all get the last laugh as he chaps your ass for being such a jerkwad to your fellow human beings. ---
