Thanks for watching! Here's a link to Grandma's Truly Delicious Fruitcake recipe: www.myrecipes.com/recipe/grandmas-fruitcake
I am one of those weirdos that actually likes fruitcake. A well made fruitcake. This one looks like it qualifies as well made. I usually get a rum and/or brandy soaked one as it lasts forever. And as nobody else in my clan likes it, I'm eating it forever.
I LOVE fruitcake. Disclaimer: It must be well made, i.e., homemade. It's a very healthy cake with all the nuts and fruits.😊
I wanted to make this cake but never saw how much dry ingredients to use
I LOVE Claxton Fruitcake. For years I made fruitcake from scratch including candying the fruits and peels myself, but honestly I love this and I don't care how weird that is.
Soak cheesecloth in brandy. Then wrap the cake in the cheesecloth and put it in a closed container for a week. You can also use an ice pick to poke holes in the top of the cake and pour Captain Apple Jack brandy over it. If your fruitcake starts to dry out before you finish eating it, add a half an apple to the closed container. PS, I use dried fruit soaked in brandy, not candied fruit for mine.
My mom wanted a fruitcake recipe to make last year. She is literally like the only one who likes fruitcake in our house. I gave her this recipe and when I tell you, this was the absolute best fruitcake ever!! We tore it up!! I just had to come find the recipe again because she keeps asking do I have her fruitcake recipe, as we are getting into the holiday mindset now. So here I am, writing it down again for this year.
After your fruitcake is cooked then wrap it in cheese cloth and put it in a container with a sealed top. Before you store it in a cool dark room soak the top of you cheese cloth that the cake is wrapped in, with bourbon, rum or the alcohol of your choice. Make sure your fruitcake stays moist but not dripping. Every three days or so make sure you pour alcohol on the fruitcake. Do this for several months. I usually try to soak mine for a minimum of 3 months. Delish!
That’s how my grandma & great grandma did it too! Lol
Try a Colin Street Bakery Fruit-cake; it’s my personal favorite and my family has purchased them for over 60 years
Thank you for sharing this recipe with us. I just might try it. :)
Looks excellent!!!!!!
I love fruit cakes, thanks
Awwwwww I Just Love Your mawmaw she’s so adorable
I love currants & dark raisins too
To add liquor flavor to fruitcake (in my mind esse tial) there are two ways. You soak the dried fruit in liquor, typically rum, Irish whisky, or brandy, to reconstiturlte then use it. I do believe most of the alcohol burns out, leaving the flavor.
The other way is to put the cooled loaf in a foil-lined pan and douse it with small amounts of your liquor of choice for the next month (hence making it in November). By the Holidays a slice will have the power of a drink, it's incredible what those breads can absorb. Also preserves them for a long time.
I like to use mangoes soaked separately in apple cider vinegar to add a punch. Making my own candied ginger for the first time as we speak!
My Mother would make her Christmas (fruit) cake a couple of weeks before Christmas, for the following years Christmas. So more than a year in advance! And boy did that sucker ever absorb a lot of rum over a year. The cheesecloth it was wrapped in was kept constantly wet with rum!
There’s nothing like a good fruitcake it’ll fuck up a cheese cake any day of the week for me
I absolutely enjoy fruit cake and just made some fruit cake cookies to people who swear they hate fruit cake anything. LOL!!
Looks good. I enjoy fruitcakes as a child and haven't had it in years. So now I'm thinking I want to make it
I love fruit cake !!!!
Excellent
I love fruitcake so much!!!
Betty’s kitchen you tube channel has nearly the same recipe and I make it yearly! Yummy!!
This looks amazing. I'm gonna try it. My mother brushed hers with grape juice and she wrapped the final product in cheesecloth and placed in an aluminum pan. She lined the pan with fresh apples and oranges The fruitcake was placed on our cool screened- in back porch for three weeks before Christmas. Somewhat of a ritual. Wonderful Christmas memory. Full disclosure: I never even took a bite of my Mother's fruitcake. My first piece was after I married.
That sounds amazing and so yummy. :)
Looks better than any fruitcake I've ever seen! ❤❤❤❤😂 Good job!
I love fruit cake.
Try sherry and bake in loaf pans. Bravo, you past her test!
I love home made fruit cake
It's so awesome I love it and I love it with Delta ROM. Are you sending some to me I would love to get a piece from you
Love fruit cake
Love your southern accent I could listen to you talk all day long. I'm originally from Tennessee.
Use Granada essence. It's two cups of rum, a stick or a teaspoon of cinnamon, a tsp. Vanilla, orange zest, lemon zest (grated or cut in small pieces, to taste), allspice, cloves, your favorite spices to taste. Keep at room temperature.
Fruit cake is good stuff aclu tx.
Love good holiday fruit cake aclu tx.
That looks good. It looks like a big granola bar. I, too, have never tried fruitcake. I wonder if soaking the dried fruit in the rum will offer enough rum taste.
I absolutely adore fruitcake. But it is hard to find nowadays.
We love fruitcake
You crack me up!!
I see a lot of recipes. It looks really good. But I know that people who have alcohol in their cake, usually soak the fruit in the alcohol before they put it in to the rest of the cake. It’s usually soaked overnight.
How much dry ingredients?? This cake looks so good but I cant do it without the dry.😭😭😭😭😭
I make fruitcake using dried fruit that I make myself. Not sugared fruit.
Where’s the butter?
Can we get the recipe please
Here ya go: www.myrecipes.com/recipe/grandmas-fruitcake
Is there no butter required in this receipe
You must have had Covid. We sound the same 😢
Is your Grandma from Lahore?
I wonder if dried fruit would work?
Obviously people have never tasted a fruitcake made by "Grandma's Fritcke." First one I tried I bout from that home shopping network Q because every year it sells out. Since then I've purchased from the W store, and direct from the bakery. You want super yummy & boozy? Buy one. Meantime thanks for the recipe.
Definitely need better fruits. Candy your own. That pineapple! That alone would ruin it for me. Then use a rum sauce or brandy, not straight rum, to glaze it. And it really needs to age a little wrapped in booze-soaked cheesecloth. It was very pretty, though.
WHERE'S THE BUTTER...HAVE TO HAVE FAT IN THE MIXTURE!
I didn't see any flour in your recipe. and didn't see you add any sugar or cocoa in the video!
I lv round fruitcake!!! Actually anykind!!! But round my fav!!!
I think it’s pretty funny, girl you are funny views my mothers fruitcake recipe you have to cure the fruit cake take a cheese cloth soak that in brandy squirted all over the cake and take the cheese cloth again and leave it on the top let it soak it it’s delicious honey your mama is hilarious
My mom made great fruitcake, wish I had the recipe. Y'all a bunch of damm alcoholic's. Ha ha.I'm going to make one.
Forget the rum. That's just nasty. Most fruit cakes are alcohol free anyhow.
Fruit 🍑 cake just doesn't look good to me 🤢
