I made fruitcake...
 |
| Waiting to be brushed with brandy |
Of course I had to sample it, even though it isn't aged yet!
 |
| half a pan, gone in a flash! |
Canned some cranberry chutney...
 |
| peach preserves, pink grapefruit marmalade, and cranberry chutney (l-r) |
And prettied-up jars of peach preserves and grapefruit marmalade for gifting.
 |
| I used wrapping paper to cover the jar tops - cheaper than fabric squares |
Question for the day: What is your stance on fruitcake?
I personally love it, especially with a cup of tea. I am about to go hide those little loaves from myself.
Congratulations! You are the first person I have ever heard of actually making fruit cake.

I've never had fruitcake, should I try? The preserves look great though and love gifts like that!
ReplyDeleteSorry, not a fruitcake fan! Although maybe a nice homemade version would be tasty!
ReplyDeleteuhhh, you can feel free to deliver one of those fine fruitcakes to me in Baton Rouge. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm excited that you will be there. When you know your color for the day, let me know. I'll be looking for you.
oh, I forgot, good luck! I know you will have a super race.
ReplyDeleteYou made fruitcake? I barely know anyone who likes fruitcake and definitely have never heard of anyone who makes it. But maybe that is why nobody likes it...they have never had a homemade one!
