I love fruitcake! I think they deserve their own thread!
I’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 I’ve seen is full of nuts.
These cookies & milk have been chocolatized by the Choco-Yeti!!!
Enjoy!!!
It’s optional as far as I’m concerned - I do tend to put a splash of brandy in this one, but I’m not really sure it makes much difference. I do feed my Christmas cakes with booze a lot.
It’s weird - nuts aren’t a common ingredient in fruitcake in Britain - apart from ground almonds as an ingredient, or whole almonds on top of Dundee cakes, I don’t remember seeing any at all.
Blessed are the cheesmakers.

Nzinga, can you substitute self rising flour for the all purpose and reduce the baking soda and salt?
Just because you think something is nasty doesn’t mean that it actually is. I think that stuffing is gross but plenty of people eat it anyway even if it isn’t Thanksgiving. Do you see a difference there? Not everyone is going to see the hurt that you see in what I believe.
I brought up what I believe because I am at a message forum where sharing what we believe is allowed.
Oh and I don’t need anyone’s permission to share what it is that I believe just like you didn’t need anyone’s permission to start another chat about me in this area of the forum.

That’s nice. 
No I didn’t. They did it all on their own.
No amount of swearing will make me a follower.
I sleep alone until I’m married whether you believe it or not.
God bless you five always!!!

Oh, I can’t bake, LouLou, hon. I just grabbed that off the internet. Sorry.
Yeah, but we all know what you do when you’re all alone with nothing but wicked thoughts of James Otto to keep you company.
^^^ I don’t think wicked thoughts about James. 
God bless you and him always!!!

Thanks for cake recipes
Now I just need to actually make some…
Bweh? I’ve had loads of fruitcake in the UK containing chopped nuts.
Ironically, I actually really dislike nuts, especially in sweet things, so I notice.
In case you haven’t noticed, everyone who has had an opinion on the subject agrees that telling mourners that suicides go to hell is nasty. And mean, evil, un-Xtian and I forget what all else.
Then why did you say that you think it is only the preachers place to do so?
Nobody said anything about needing permission, you slippery lamebrain. You said that you will blather on about your “beliefs” whenever anyone asks, and I responded that no one here asked you to. As a matter of fact, many people have asked you to stop. Several times. No one here supports your message, but you are going to continue with it because you need attention in your tiny world, even if it’s negative. The result of your having been on this message board is to make folks think even less of Xtians and of James Otto, but you keep at it because it isn’t about him or Jesus or god, it’s about you and your need for attention. Which is pathetic.
Bitch.
Oh, and guys? How about diet dessert recipes?
Nope. Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope.
Today’s oxymoron: diet dessert recipes.
And if anyone does invent such an abomination, then damn them to Hell!
(Oh wait, that’s what started all this in the first place, isn’t it.)
Well I think that swearing is a nasty and hurtful thing too, but does that stop you people from doing it? Never and if you didn’t see me say this earlier which you obviously did not, I believe that its only a preacher’s place to bring it up at a funeral unless a person asks you and this forum is not a funeral and another thing that you are obviously not getting is that even if I have no support for what it is that I stand for, not only do I still have the right to stand it, but I have the right to point out that I stand for whatever it is that I choose to stand for.
Curly fry with ketchup…or are you one of them people who prefer mustard?
God bless you and James always!!!

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 you’re going to Pit someone and do a good job it should be acknowledged.
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 they’re going to hell but you’d accompany it true expression of sadness, rending of garments, and actual tears of sorrow. You don’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 we’d all get the last laugh as he chaps your ass for being such a jerkwad to your fellow human beings.
What the fuck? Get your shit together, curlcoat.
^^^ I do not rub salt in people’s wounds. I actually pray every day for the family of the person that brought me to sharing my belief in the first place.
God bless you and her family always!!!
