Why is Fruitcake So Maligned?

Best use for a fruitcake is as a door stop.

I like fruitcake as long as they leave the watermelon rinds out of the recipe. Specially the green ones. :yuk: I really like those made with just pineapple, cherries, and pecans. Does that count as fruitcake?

An American one perhaps.

Watermelon rinds????
What's that all about?

Warri, watermelon can be pickeled or candied.

Our Son in-law made rum fruitcakes at Christmas, and ours is 3/4 gone....and going fast! It is scrumptious!

I've never heard of water melon rinds in fruitcake either.

I'm not keen on fruitcake I have to admit but I can eat some as long as it has no glace cherries or candied peel in it...I hate those!

I like fruitcake. Johnny Carson once said "There's really only one fruitcake, everyone is just passing it around."
