That pretty much covers 99.99% of the public.

I had a piece of an 8 year old fruitcake before, it was properly baked and cared for. It was the BEST cake i've ever eaten. Too bad my friends parents are too forgetful to take care of one now.

Eight years?? :shocked:

Do you have to let it age like a fine wine?

it's better if you let it age, the flavors melt together, and because you need to drizzle liquor on it every couple of months, that keeps it moist. also the alcohol imparts extra flavors depending on which you use.

I think my friend uses either spiced rum or regular brown rum. I think they used scotch once, but i didn't get to taste that.

I guess i've had fruit cake that you could use as house bricks too, but I've also had some REALLY nice ones - the Mrs' friend's mum makes one so nice it would convert even beem ;)

:lol: we all know how much you love the cold weather ;)

It's no wonder that fruit cake lasted for 8 years - if you soak it in enough alcohol, pretty much anything will stay preserved.

actually, it's about an ounce sprinkled around the top of the fruitcake every 6 months i believe. You just gotta remember to do it, or it'll dry into an adobe brick.

Especially when you spice up that fruitcake with a healthy dose of formaldehyde! Nothing makes for better holiday cheer.

Alcohol is formaldehyde's cousin, ain't it? :beaten:
