More than welcome, GG. Christmas is just round the corner. I have my fruits soaked in rum for a couple of months now, all set to go. However, i always used dark rum but when i went to buy the rum, this jamaican sales girl told me her mother used the white one. When i looked at where the rum originated i noticed it did come from Jamaica. So is it white or dark , lets see when the cake comes out of the oven.Thanks for the reminder! I'd forgotten all about our September discussion re fruitcakes. I just put ingredients on my list. Nobody's going to eat it but me, but eat it I will![]()
