The traditional holiday season fruitcake has an unnecessary and unfavorable image. Too many unappreciative people don’t give it a fair and tasty trial. As for me, I have never had a fruitcake I didn’t like.
Admittedly, some are better than others. Those with a good healthy douse of brandy will always merit a better review. Those with too much bread-like ingredients may lack enough candied fruit and nuts. And those with a plenty of pecans are generally the best. The Southern Supreme fruitcakery in Chatham County is, to my long-time tastes, truly THE supreme.
Fruitcake eaten with coffee (or even ice cream) is a dining treat for all to enjoy.
Any unappreciative souls who want to give me their unwanted fruitcakes are welcome to do so.
