IT'S FRUITCAKE TIME! Please grace us with your fruitcake stories in the comments. 🎄
My response when people say they hate fruitcake is, "you haven't tried the right fruitcake." The RIGHT fruitcake is buttery, chewy, spicy.....delicious.
My Grandma made the BEST fruitcake! She wrapped it in brandy-soaked cheesecloth and refrigerated it several weeks before we could enjoy it. It was very moist and was much more fruit and nuts than cake. It did not taste like brandy at all. Treasured family gifts memories.
My grandmother made this when I was a child in 60-70's. She used sweetened condensed milk instead of evaporated milk and used red and green marachino cherries instead of the fruit cake mix. One of my favorite memories. She made them into log rolls. Christmas is only 5 days away but I think if I can find the ingredients, I'll be making it. Thanks for the wonderful memories. My grandmother passed in 1985 and I miss her so much.
It does indeed make great wedding gifts as my copy in the wild I found has inscribed on inside of cover page “Dear Cynthi-
I hope this book helps you with the basics of many wonderful meals-I know that you will supply the essential ingredient: Love.
I wish you much happiness
Love and best wishes
Bea
I love you excitement over the photos and wording, because I am the same way lol.
This brought back memories of my mom's fruitcake...she would make it every October...the reason being it had to sit for 6 weeks in an apricot brandy soaked piece of cheesecloth. Every so often she would unwrap it and drench the cloth with more brandy and re wrap. She got the recipe from a gal that she worked with, she was from Sweden. The last one she made, mid 90's she said it would be her last one, the ingredients cost too much. This was the best cake we ever had. My husband fell in love with it...the cake was was so yummy and moist and you could really taste the brandy. YUM! I think it was in a bundt pan, also. Yours looks good....
Do you still have the recipe???
My mom’s no bake fruit cake has you microwave your marshmallows with butter like making rice crispy treats and then mix in the graham cracker crumbles, fruit, nuts, and spices. No condensed milk or orange juice in her version.
Where I live, a local outfit is renowned for an extraordinary fruitcake that is more of like a nutty protein bar situation. It is AWESOME, could eat it daily. My mom loved fruitcake, we gave her one yearly. Rest in peace, mom, ill eat the fruitcake for you from here :)
I lol’d when you headed of the comments Re: chemicals.
Ohhh Sweet Dottiel!!!
Btw if you want marshmallows that will amaze you, try Wondermade in Orlando. They have handmade, small batch gourmet marshmallows that are unbelievable in all sorts of flavors like orange chocolate and gold champagne. Don't think I'd put them in the fruitcake, because I don't think they'd last long enough....but thought you might be interested.
The no bake fruit cak ( icebox fruit cake) i delicious, it was my oldest brothers favorite.
I had never heard of it before I saw the recipe in this book! It turned out to be pretty tasty. Thanks for watching!
Next time you have to cut up large marshmallows toss in a bit of icing sugar to coat the cut edges… Just found your channel so binge watching.
Yes! This is what I'm remembering too. It helped the cake hold together and made it slightly chewy.
My mother-in-law, who would be 104 if she was alive, made a similar cake to this every Christmas. She always melted the marshmallows in the evaporated milk then poured it in the other stuff. I think you're right, you need a bit more liquid. Personally, I make a light fruit cake every year that has only white, red, and green candied fruit. I'm sure you have a recipe somewhere around your house for one! Oh yeah, you need some kind of booze in it, too.
I love fruitcake! I've never tried the no bake version and this one looks festive and delicious. I would probably swap out the white marshmallows for the pastel fruity mini ones. Just my personal preference when eating marshmallows.🙂
I love fruit cake and definitely will be trying this next year. And I love this cookbook took. I used to love McCall’s magazine when I was a kid.
I made a light fruitcake 40+ plus years ago that my grandfather said should have been served in a shot glass, definitely too much brandy that year in the fruitcake! I lost the recipe during a move and miss it. It was good even without the brandy soaking.
My grandma made this!
Every Christmas.
My dad was the only one who ate it.
So only one piece was eaten. Each. Year.
I love this. 😂
I love the old fashioned fruit cake. My mom made it for me every year (cause none of my brothers or sisters would eat it).
We make a similar cake, with crushed Nilla wafers instead of graham cracker crumbs and marshmallow fluff instead of mini marshmallows. Always a favorite during the holiday season
I have this book, copyright 1963, 6th printing ... and the cover is green! Oh, and there are 6 pizza variations. Not sure why the two sausage suggestions were titled with large blue print. Excellent video!
I actually love fruit cake and used to make the version in Betty Crocker during high school.
I've been thrifting for vintage cookbooks and found the same cookbook in your video only in a red cover. Same recipes that you were reading. I'm excited to see this book come alive. I took pics of my cookbook hoping to add to my comment, but I don't see where i could add a pic.
What a great find! This cookbook came in several colors (can’t remember if I mentioned that in this video). I currently have the yellow cover and the green one in my collection. Thanks for sharing this! 📚 if you’d like to send me a photo, you can email it to me: alsbuchholz@gmail.com
Bramble or raspberry flummery, barley frumentry, and junkets of all flavours were still common when I was a child in the 60s/70s. Likewise, suet puddings of every description and milk puddings such as rice, sago tapioca and semolina. And don't get me started on trifles, fools, possets and mousses. Such a shame that they have largely disappeared.
OMG. I totally remember this cookbook. I just love your channel. It’s so nostalgic for me. I really enjoy it! ❤❤❤
Glad you enjoy it!
I absolutely love fruitcake, but I've never seen a no bake one I'm going to try it this year.
Appetizing. And i would love to try it.Thank you for your culinary knowledge.
Have a good day ahead, dear!
Thanks for watching!
I enjoyed this video! Thank you!
I was always traumatized by the story of a family man who had stopped drinking and someone gave him rum laced fruit cake while on a train and was never seen again.The dollar store had some cheap fruit cake years ago and I always loved some neighbor you saw once in awhile who made fruit cake and shared at Christmas time.Great video.
Thanks for checking this one out! I don't have a lot of fruitcake experience, but this recipe was pretty easy and tasty.
This recipe reminds me of something Mrs. flax would’ve made on the movie mermaids lol thanks again for another wonderful recipe and for allowing us along for the journey be blessed❤ ❤❤
Oh my gosh, you are so right. I love that movie and it's been too long since I've watching it! 😄
Cookbook a good cookbook I've had it for years
Mmm, I love rich fruit cake, stuffed full of fruit, nuts and glace cherries, then fed regularly with port, rum or brandy in the months leading up to Christmas. Covered in marzipan and royal icing, bound with a ribbon and topped with kitsch decorations. Served with Wensleydale or farmhouse cheddar. What could be better?
I love fruit cake

Thanks for watching!
In nearly all of the recipes with warm spices I up the spices as I like flavors
I just came across a no bake fruitcake recipe in a vintage cookbook I picked up this weekend. I was curious about it, so I’m excited to find this video.
You need one of those old-school 12" diameter Tupperware bowls.
Elberta peaches are Freestone Peach and it's very very flavorful
such a great recipe!
Thank you! It was a really fun one to try.
Very Good Sharing 💕
Stay safe and stay connected 🙏 💕 🙏 😍
Thanks for visiting
Watching you mix by hand - have you heard of and do you own a Danish Whisk. Absolutely brilliant for thicker or drier mixes. Relatively cheap and well worth the less effort required; unless you really like the sticky finger taste testing!😊
Hooray!!! 🙂🎄
What a fun cook book! I've never seen a no bake fruit cake, I'll admit I'm surprised it held together as well as it did without any of your traditional super sticky no bake ingredients. Fun!
It went surprisingly well! And it got even better after a couple of more days in the fridge. Thanks so much for watching!
Pressing is the secret to this type of cake
Around my bunch, the big joke with a classic Christmas fruit cake was that you could be getting a re-gift from someone from the previous year(s), since- if it's actually prepared correctly with a couple days of booze baths- it's completely self-preserving. This one seems pretty... wacky??? I mean, not totally, but wacky adjacent. The ingredients sound pretty good though, so I imagine it would be alright! What was the era of this book? Was it like late 60's? That flat art is really lovely... kind of makes me think of old printed tea towels and opening sitcom credits. Congratulations on making something from the heaviest book yet!
This book is from 1963. The recipe was definitely wacky. I didn't think it would hold together very well, but it did! and was even somehow kinda dry!.😂Thanks for watching!
@@cooking_the_books Dry? Really? So crazy.
You are so cute and so funny!!! I wouldn't be surprised if you get your own show on HGTV. Very entertaining yet so down to earth! ❤
I love fruitcake. I'm going to try this.
My children are ALL in for the mishaps and totally want to eat it!!
This was pretty easy to make! Christmas activity for the kids next year??
Buku memasak yang sangat tebal dan bagus, saya suka fruit cakenya
Thanks for watching! ❤
This looks amazing 😍🥰 thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching
WOW..No bake fruit cake recipe. awesome
Thank you so much 😊
This turned out great, Anna! The suspense was killing me right before you unwrapped it!
Thank you! I'm not sure what I thought was going to happen to the cake during the 4 days it was in the fridge. 😆
this looks good! i haven’t made a fruit cake before and this recipe is so simple and a great one to start. Thank you for sharing! 😊
This was definitely a good one for me to start with! Maybe I'll graduate to a baked fruitcake next year. 😂 Thanks for watching!
Awesome fruit cake, love the making and the video..
Thank you!!
This is definitely what I would call a Christmas memory recipe. Because you can easily have the children of the family help . There really is nothing dangerous no knives,no stove just mixing and crunching Gram crackers. Just have an adult pour the liquid.
Terima kasih infonya sangat menarik dan inspiratif serta inovatif
Thanks for visiting!
Hi Anna! I’ve never made a fruit cake! Yours looks good😊
Thanks for the awesome review of the cookbook. I always love that part of your videos.
Hi Mindy! This recipe was a good one to start with for me. Maybe next year I'll advance to an actual baked fruitcake! Thank you for your kind comment about my reviews. I really love sharing them!
Your Christmas mess looks yummy!! lol My grandma always had a fruitcake and it was so good. I've never had a no bake fruitcake, but would love to try this recipe. I was cracking up at your kitchen mishaps. And yay for Dottie living her best holiday life! :)
What a sweet memory! ♥
I have many kitchen mishaps (there's a real doozy coming up in my next video 😂) and usually opt to leave them in my videos. Keepin' it real and all that. I'm really glad you enjoy them!
Thanks for sharing your version of yummylicious fruitcake😋😋😋
Thanks for visiting!
very tasty no baked fruits cake its very simple and easy to make
Thanks a lot 😊
More like an encyclopedia😂 Very festive video🎄
I had such a good time making this. I picked up a slightly newer version of the McCall's cookbook in the fall. Need to make a video about it soon!
@@cooking_the_books sounds like fun😊
honestly I have no fruitcake stories since it's not really my kind of dessert tbh! But this looks good and awesome that it's no-bake! Came together very nicely, I'd give it a try! Very colourful and seems to have turned out fantastic!
Thank you! I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was pretty pleased with the results.
My hubby loves fruit cake. I don’t lol. He loves his moms I keep thinking I will make that for him but I don’t and being together over 30 hrs and still haven’t lol lol. Maybe someday The book is nice and the recipe looks good
I've always been kind of lukewarm on fruitcake, but honestly haven't encountered it all that much. It isn't a tradition in my family. This one was really nice! Not very sweet though, not sure if it matches the sweetness level of a traditional fruitcake. I'm thinking another tablespoon or 2 of OJ could have helped with the dryness. Thank you for watching! ❤
So delicious🤤🤤🤤🤤
Thanks!
This Vintage Cook book looks awesome. I pronounce it...2 Mare Ick.....Hehehe. Ive sort of had a distain for fruit cake my whole life..starting at a very small child. My grandma always had it at Christmas and practically forced me to eat it....Haha. I just couldnt get past the citron and chewy rubbery candied fruit. It tasted like I was eating an old skittle..Hahaha. But honestly this recipe doesnt look half bad!!
This cookbook is so cool for the photos alone! I can see how fruitcake might not be your Christmas treat of choice. Being forced to eat anything is not fun, and the candied fruit & citrus peel might be a little bit of an unusual flavor for kids. Old Skittle 😂 I like this cake more and more the longer it sits in my fridge! Thanks for watching!
Wow, that’s a thiccc book! 😂 That’s awesome! What a fun recipe though, lol, I don’t think I’ve ever had fruitcake, but I’m definitely intrigued! 😆 This no-bake version looks tasty, though I agree it did look a little dry, flavors sound amazing though!
We weren't much of a fruitcake family, but I'm really glad I tried this one. The result was pleasantly surprising (if a bit dry)!
love this recipe for Christmas. Good video my friend! Looking for TH-cam friends here. Continue making videos and see you around. Take care during this pandemic times. Watching and giving support from the Philippines 🤗🇵🇭
Thanks for visiting! ❤
Will you try a regular fruitcake this year? You must have hundreds of recipes in your library. I’ve made fruitcakes for the past few years. I usually make them the weekend after thanksgiving. Thanks for the fun video ❤️🎄
To me, there are 3 parts to a pizza, the crust , the sauce, and the "toppings".
MashaAllah💐💐💐💐💐
Beautiful uploading 😍😍😍😍
Thank you for sharing this 😊😊😊
Full watched❤️❤️👍👍
stay connected 💐💐💐
Thanks for watching! ❤
Dave loves fruit cake , I’ve never made it for him but I’m looking for an easy recipe
Never heard of a no bake fruit cake
I have candied fruits just sitting in my pantry waiting for the day to make Dave a fruit cake
Normal fruitcake doesn’t have graham crackers or marshmallows so this sounds good
Oops! I’ve done that before but never on camera! I’m always making a mess
Long Dottie break… 4 days worth
The texture of this was a little crumbly, less cake like. More liquid may have helped!
I was just glad I didn't get any of the milk on my cookbook. 😂
Wow fruit cake
Thanks for watching!
Ok I see you fruit cake. We are getting closer to a jello mold. It’s like a zesty jello mold
Some day…there will be jello.
@@cooking_the_books 😁😁😁😁
Fannie Farmers cookbook do you have that
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks for watching!
Everything is chemicals!! So true, even engine oil!! You should try cooking with that chemical, maybe mix it with the flour chemical and a little egg chemical, with a dash of yoga mat chemical!! It's all chemicals after all.
Why would anyone want to make a fruitcake when there are probably millions of them being used as doorsteps?
