My mom made it every year and is was wonderful. I finally recovered her recipe about 5 years ago & have made it several times since then. She did not soak it in liquor and her friends at church would ask her, starting in September if she was going to be making it again. So my answer is: I'd eat it and love every bite of it.

There is only one fruitcake in the entire world, and people keep sending it to each other."<BR/>- Johnny Carson<BR/>I laughed and laughed when I found the quote. As for me, it would depend on the fruitcake. I hate the ones with the yellow and red and green pieces. They taste nasty. I would throw them away. I like the ones with the nuts and raisins. The real fruitcakes are good. So it would depend. I think the green bits are dyed orange rind. Don't you? I think that is what the orange and yellow ones are, too. Love the question!
