That's it, gals. Call off the contest. Curtis is MINE. I make homemade fruitcake with all cherries and pineapple, no nasty citron. All Brazil nuts. Raisins. The "cake" part is graham cracker crumbs held together with a concoction that is mainly melted marshmallows. I got the receipe from my DAD. You don't even bake it, just mush it together in the turkey roasting pan. I soak it repeatedly with PLENTY of brandy. (Save the Wild Turkey for sipping straight.) I swear people who say they hate fruitcake come back for seconds and thirds. A Mormon elder neighbor risked his soul every Christmas just to eat one of my mini-fruitcakes. And it makes great trail dessert!
