I have my grandfather's original fruitcake recipe! He use to make each of us a fruitcake for the holidays. He always started early buying up the ingredients. I still have the original round tin that he always put mine in. When I emptied it, I would always give it back to him to put mine back in!!!!! IT WAS FABULOUS!!! I MISS HIM and his fruitcakes so bad!!!
@@WickedBoo13 I do too Rebecca!! I can see his sweet smile when haha need me my tin full of the most amazing fruitcake!!!! I miss you papa and I love you!!!! I will see you in Heaven!!!!!!!
What a blessing to have the recipe handed down and to have such wonderful memories of your grandfather!! My grandfather was my favorite person in the world and although he's been gone over 20 years, I still miss him!! I'm one of the rare people that LOVE fruitcake!! My Dad makes one and uses Pineapple Juice instead of water when he's making the cake from scratch. He gave me his recipe! He is 93 yrs old now and has Dementia and no longer cooks but his is STILL the best fruitcake that I have ever tasted!!!
TAMMY I NEED PRAYER LIKE I NEVER HAVE BEFORE. I FEEL LIKE THE LORD HAS FORSAKEN ME AND WHEN I PRAY MY PRAYERS JUST DON'T GO ANYWHERE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ANYMORE PLEASE PRAY FOR ME. 🙏
@@marshamassengale9300 OH Marsha honey, been there before too!! Jesus still knows our heart!! When I go through this I say, IN THE NAME OF JESUS GET BEHIND ME SATAN!!!!! When you do this the devil has to leave!!!!! Before long,, you will be doing better!! And tell Jesus what you told Tammy, HE WILL hear you and come to the rescue!!!!!
I’m so thankful to see you make fruit cake. My Granny made it every year and it was a true labor of love. She cut all her own fruit, chopped her nuts and mixed the batter in a big pink wash pan. We looked forward to it every year and I’d give anything to be back in her kitchen watching her cook. Fruit cake gets a bad rap, but folks just don’t know what they are missing. I love your channel because your cooking reminds me so much of my Granny’s. We are just good ole South GA people raised on country cooking. Thanks so much for sharing. ❤
I’ve made this for the second year in a row & it tuned out amazing…my husband loves it & says it’s the best he’s ever had…I halved the recipe & put it in 2 loaf pans…I didn’t bake quite the 2 hours & they were perfect
I have my mother’s absolutely fabulous fruitcake recipe and make several fruitcakes most years around the holidays. I actually have the recipe in her own handwriting, which I treasure. This recipe has converted many fruitcake haters and naysayers to fruitcake lovers!
HI Tammy! We now understand Chris' opening remarks on the video! 🤣 Since we took the fruit cake out of the oven and let it cool (barely!) my crew have been busy with their taste tests! Gosh! Is this fruit cake ever good!! We used the grape juice, too! I was intrigued. Loving the Vol 4 cookbook, too! My crew delved into it and immediately began picking out the recipes they wanted to try....mostly desserts, of course, but we'll manage to balance the monthly menu planning board with many of the other fabulous recipes, too! Thanks so much for another video, y'all!
My sweet daddy loved fruitcake so good! I finally found a recipe that had no batter at all, only fruits (no peel or citron) & nuts &, if I remember correctly, 2-3 cans of sweetened condensed milk. You had to grease your pan AND line it with greased waxed paper because basically everything just melts together from all the sugar. He loved it! Said it was the only one he wanted from then on.
My Mum made the most delicious fruit cales and she taught me from an early age. My favourite (but most time consuming) are the ones where the fruit is mixed eith brandy or rum and left to soak for about a month before the cake is made. The fruit mixture uses dultanas, currants, raisins, dates (without that sugary coating), dried apricots, glace cherries, mixed peel, dried figs if liked. The cake is made with butter, dark brown sugar, allspice, nutmeg, cinnamon, molasses, flour and the soaked fruits are added to the mix - it's a labour of love mixing it together! It goes into a large cake tin snd baked in a slow oven for about three and a half hours. When cojed, a snall amount of brandy, rum or sherry is poured over the top if the cake every day or so (maybe half a dozen times) and then the cake can be stored till Christmas. It can be made months ahead and is very, very moist and rich. A quicker and easier version is a boiled fruit cake - the fruit, butter, sugar and alcohol or water is put into a large saucepan and boiled till the sugar has dissolved. Its then left to col completely before the flour, eggs and spices are added, along with dome slivered slmonds or roughly choped walnuts (these also go in the other cake too), before baking. This type foesnt last ad long as the first type, but is delicious. Again, alcohol is drizzled over the top fir a few days and its best to leave it for at least a week before cutting. These are both served in small slices ss they are very rich (except my don cuts great doorsteps because he loves fruitcake and traditional Christmss pudding - and fruit mince tarts ...😂). Im Australian but Mum's and Dad's families migrated here from England, do we prefer Emglish fruit cakes etc.
Oh yes I love fruit cake!Second time to watch.Oh,you home is so pretty,with all the Christmas decorations .Especially love the front living room. So glad we have received Healing.At the Cross,At the Cross,where I 1st saw the light and the Burdens of our Heart rolled away,It was there by night I received my Sight,and now we are Happyall the Day!!2 HAPPY 2023,FOREVER YOUNG,IN JESUS NAME.3🍞🥂🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
I am from Northern Alberta Canada. My sister stopped in and my niece and they both said this cake is the best they had ever tasted. They will be making this one too. Take care . It's bed time for me before I eat all my cakes LOL
Awww I love fruit cake it looks so good Mrs.Tammy my mom used to make it every year before she got Alzheimer’s she had it for 17 years before she past 2019 but I always enjoyed making it with her ❤you Mrs.Tammy for bring back good times with my mom
I have my mother's recipe that she used to make. It is handwritten on a piece of ledger paper. LOL I love fruit cake. I can remember my job growing up was cutting up all the candied fruit. I always wanted to cut it right after it was made but we always had to wait till Christmas. I bought me a small Claxton at Walmart, and ate at bite at a time. It was not as good as my mothers but it was really good. I can not remember if mother used brandy or whisky, and my mother did not drink at all. It is still hard at the holidays without my mother. She used to always make a fresh coconut cake and I honor her and in memory, I always make a fresh coconut cake.
My mum and grandmum from England always made our fruitcakes and we used brandy in it and some of them used walnuts too with pecans,..We lived in US but my mum always loved her fruitcakes and so did I.
Hey Tammy, Oh My Goodness what a gorgeous Fruit Cake! I love Fruit Cake and always have especially with ALL the fruit and nuts. My Mother made them with all the fruits and nuts but not dates. I know it'll be de-lish! Your friends and family members are blessed to be receiving these beautiful cakes!. It was always a big time when my Mother spent the day making them. My mother went home to be with Jesus her Lord on the 11th of Oct. so it will be different this Christmas but she be celebrating with the real Christ Angels and everybody! I hope y'all have a very blessed Christmas. Be well and safe! 🎄 🎶 🌟 🐑 🐫 🌟
I love good fruitcake. Gives me memories of my uncle. His mom made fruit cake and it was out of this world due to the cake being liberally doused in whiskey!!
@@carolbaughan8768 about a pint of whiskey. Some in the cake and the rest was added to a piece of cheesecloth wrapped around the cake. Added until Christmas Eve. Then ready to cut and enjoy!
People look at me funny when I tell them fruitcake is my favorite kind of cake. It's true. I'd happily accept one as my birthday cake. We used to make our own. We also added red wine to the batter. Then soak it in brandy or rum for about a week.
Looks fantastic! I'm going to have to try this. For decades my family used a "9&1/2 Minute Fruitcake" recipe. I've never been able to find it listed anywhere. In addition to the usual fruits and nuts, it also used a jar of mincemeat. I don't add too much of the candied citrus peel but do load up on citron, cheries and pineapple. I also wrap it in cheesecloth and drizzle Grande Marnier over it a few times and let it cure for two or three weeks. Love a good fruitcake!!!
I'm in the UK Tammy and never made a fruit cake in my life, but for some reason just lately, I have been craving one. My mum used to make them every Christmas (she died in 2016) and with Christmas coming soon, and thinking about her, I just started thinking about those wonderful fruit cakes of hers. So I went to try and buy one, but none of them looked right. Way too dark, too many dark currants, just looked very unappetising, and they aren't cheap to buy either!! I wanted one like my mum's with glacé cherries, a mixture of fruit , walnuts, pecans etc. So I typed 'home made fruit cake with cherries and mixed fruit/nuts' and it brought me here. So I will be cooking my first ever fruit cake to your recipe. Wish me luck!!
Tammy when I was a kid I thought that fruitcake should be thrown away. When I was about 20 I actually tried it, which I never did as a kid, and oh my world it was delicious !!!! You made my mouth water that looked so good. Thank you so much and of course Chris also.
oooo baby, don't get started about the glove thing! God made our hands and as long as they are nicely washed, I have NO PROBLEM with bare hands. Now if you have a injury like cut, then yes, cover the injured hand otherwise home cooks do as you feel is right. Love you Ms. Tamy!😋
Hi Tammy. I’m making my FIRST fruit cake now. I have no idea what I’m doing. Because I started with another recipe before I saw this one, I had more cake batter than I had fruit. I baked the leftover batter in a small springform pan and OMG. I did some rum extract (which I’m not fond of), because the person I’m baking it for wanted it. I think your cake batter with a flavored cream cheese icing would be AMAZING!!! My cake still have 1 1/2 hours to go. I’m excited now 😁😁
I love fruit cake and remember as a little girl my mother making her fruitcake in a huge old wooden bowl. Shed pass us a little cherry across the table for me to taste and I thought it was the sweetest, most delicious thing I ever tasted! Thank you for bringing this memory back and inspiring me to make this cake myself! Happy Holidays, love ya!
I like your idea of baking them in decorative tins. I never would have thought those were oven proof. Your recipe looks very good, but we like glacéd cherries, golden raisins and candied pineapple only for the fruity part, no citron. We like but alcohol flavoring, even if it’s only from extract.
I don't think she meant he baked the fruit cake in the tin. I think he baked the fruitcake in a pan and then put it in the decorative tin to give them to the family. The heat would burn the " paint" picture off the decorative tin.
Thank you all the fruit cakes I have bought were dried out. Now I will beable to make my own. My dad (rip) & I loved fruit cake! Thank you! Here's a recipe for you may want to try. Pumpkin Ice cream 4 bananas mashed 1 can Pumpkin pure 1/2 cup honey 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon 1 teaspoons Pumpkin spice Blend together freeze
Tammy! I just LOVE watching your videos. I’ve tried some of your recipes and they are sooo good! Thank you for sharing your expertise in the kitchen with all of us. Also love your interaction with your husband💕God Bless you both!!
Sounds absolutely delicious. I’ve only made one before for my dad and I bet it weighed every bit of 20 pounds. I don’t know what I did wrong. Lol. But I love fruit cake.
Tammy that looked amazing. You did such a good job I could almost taste that fruitcake. Have a wonderful time with your family this week. Happy Thanksgiving to you and Chris and your family💕
Really, really and really GOOD! 😄 Adding this cake to our holiday cooking gifts! ( But of course, I'll have to make it several times before then - practice makes perfect!) 😜
My mom said her mama always said you should touch your food because not only can you actually feel the consistency but it passes your love into your food.
I LOVE FRUIT CAKE...MY MOM AND GRANDMA USE TO MAKE ICE BOX FRUIT CAKE WHICH YOU HAD MADE VIDEO OF YEARS AGO BUT I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO FIND IT TO TEACH MY KIDS SINCE I'M NOT ABLE TO COOK ANY MORE...THANK YOU AND MR CHRIS SO MUCH
Growing up we always thought that fruitcake was rather gross, but to be honest as I've gotten older, I can honestly say that I really do like a slice of fruit cake as long as it's fresh. I think that may be the big difference - the processed fruit cake of old versus fresh fruit cake made from scratch. You're tempting me with this recipe and I think I'm going to have to make it. I absolutely love your channel, because nothing beats good home cooking. 🧑🎄🎄🎄🧑🎄
I think they all turned out great. I’m one of the few people who loves fruitcake. I wish you had a bakery. I would be your best customer Tammy, yeah boy. Of course you use your hands. Every great chef and baker uses those great tools that God gave us. Duh.
The tins are painted... And made in China I'm sure... I wouldn't bake anything in them and even line them with parchment paper when putting any kind of food item in them.
You can't bake in these tins. Big difference between food safe and oven safe. And have you ever seen anyone else do this. Nope! And why is it anytime you buy cookies, candies or cakes in a tin, there is always some form of paper or plastic lining between the tin and the food.
Your fruitcake looks delicious. I’ve been making mine from scratch for over 45 years. I bake mine on Black Friday, and let it age for a minimum of a week longer if I can stand it 😉. I agree on not adding alcohol to fruitcake. ❤🎄
I have never liked fruit cake but my grandma always made fruit cake cookies and I love love love them. Not sure what the difference is but has milk and rum extract no liquor. Have my ingredients ready to make a batch soon.
Yah, Tammy! St. Mary's kitchen! Tammy, we got your slice of FC and it was the most delicious FC I've ever had!!!... for real girl!!! Thank you so much. You're are sweeter than ever! Merry Christmas to you and Chris, May, Amy and dogs and kitties. Tonya
Thanks for sharing your recipe. I have my mom's recipe. I'm so happy to see you make one.. this looks delicious. I'm going to give it a try.. wish me luck..
I’m not a big fruitcake lover but I’m gonna try this one to see if it changes my mind. I’m more of a breakfast lover and love all of your breakfast recipes and videos.
Thank you for showing us how to make my favorite Holiday dessert! I am the only one in my and my husbands family that likes fruitcake. I buy one every year and share with my neighbor who is also the only one in her family that likes it! My mom and dad loved fruitcake so I don’t understand why my siblings don’t like it. Mom made one or two every year although she would use brandy in hers and baste it with brandy or rum every now and then. She also kept it wrapped in cheesecloth.
Thanks ,Ms. Tammy I always thought fruit cake should be something that was good, I’ve only ate the store kind , when I get into my new house I will give it a try. I might have to save up some ,for that it does look like it might cost a good bit ,but it will be worth it iam sure. You made me want it more by tasting it 😊 have a blessed day or night , Betty

This looks like a really good recipe. Orange juice is also a good sub for the liquor and liquid in fruitcake.

Beautiful. I love fruit cake without nuts. My mother made a great one bathed in spirits. I also like it bathed in sweet red wine.
Love a slice of fruit cake with a cup of black coffee
I love it, but no one else does.
Really, really and really GOOD! 😄 Adding this cake to our holiday cooking gifts!
( But of course, I'll have to make it several times before then - practice makes perfect!) 😜

Yummy. Gotta try this cake !
Looks so delicious!!! You did a Great job
Growing up we always thought that fruitcake was rather gross, but to be honest as I've gotten older, I can honestly say that I really do like a slice of fruit cake as long as it's fresh. I think that may be the big difference - the processed fruit cake of old versus fresh fruit cake made from scratch. You're tempting me with this recipe and I think I'm going to have to make it. I absolutely love your channel, because nothing beats good home cooking. 🧑🎄🎄🎄🧑🎄
Very true about using your hands in the bakery. Hands are really the best tools.
Good fruit cake is delicious!
I use my hands too Tammy. You do you. I will keep watching. 💯
Wow, I like your mixer.
I think they all turned out great. I’m one of the few people who loves fruitcake. I wish you had a bakery. I would be your best customer Tammy, yeah boy. Of course you use your hands. Every great chef and baker uses those great tools that God gave us. Duh.
Love your recipes
Love it!
I never knew you could bake in those containers, that is a great idea. I miss fruit cake I haven’t had a piece in like 30 years. 😋
The tins are painted... And made in China I'm sure... I wouldn't bake anything in them and even line them with parchment paper when putting any kind of food item in them.
@@bobbysandycam9677 That is exactly what I thought, the toxic chemicals will come out into your food when heated, especially from China.
@@teresamoscatiello I totally agree!
@@bobbysandycam9677 everything is made in china
You can't bake in these tins. Big difference between food safe and oven safe. And have you ever seen anyone else do this. Nope! And why is it anytime you buy cookies, candies or cakes in a tin, there is always some form of paper or plastic lining between the tin and the food.
Beautiful cakes ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Your fruitcake looks delicious. I’ve been making mine from scratch for over 45 years. I bake mine on Black Friday, and let it age for a minimum of a week longer if I can stand it 😉. I agree on not adding alcohol to fruitcake. ❤🎄
This fruitcake looks 😋 delicious. I'll try.... ❤🦃🌻
I have never liked fruit cake but my grandma always made fruit cake cookies and I love love love them. Not sure what the difference is but has milk and rum extract no liquor. Have my ingredients ready to make a batch soon.
I love fruitcake. I make them in the pressure cooker.
Yah, Tammy! St. Mary's kitchen!
Tammy, we got your slice of FC and it was the most delicious FC I've ever had!!!... for real girl!!!
Thank you so much.
You're are sweeter than ever!
Merry Christmas to you and Chris, May, Amy and dogs and kitties.

My grandmother loved fruit cake…I’m going to make this cake this year. It looks so holiday-ish! 🎄 🎅
Looks delicious!
Blessed Sunday you two! I was JUST thinking about finding a good fruitcake recipe. THANK YOU!
I will try this…my husband loves fruitcake…he’s always had to buy it, we never could find a good recipe…now I have…thank you Tammy🥗
Tammy, that looks so good! I love how you baked them in the Christmas tins! Thanks!
Thanks for sharing your recipe. I have my mom's recipe. I'm so happy to see you make one.. this looks delicious. I'm going to give it a try.. wish me luck..
Have fun!
I’m not a big fruitcake lover but I’m gonna try this one to see if it changes my mind. I’m more of a breakfast lover and love all of your breakfast recipes and videos.
Thanks for sharing
I watch this video every year. This year I am making this cake!
WOW
Looks good!
I may just have to try ... although I've really never seen one as moist as yours seemed to be
Thank you for showing us how to make my favorite Holiday dessert! I am the only one in my and my husbands family that likes fruitcake. I buy one every year and share with my neighbor who is also the only one in her family that likes it! My mom and dad loved fruitcake so I don’t understand why my siblings don’t like it. Mom made one or two every year although she would use brandy in hers and baste it with brandy or rum every now and then. She also kept it wrapped in cheesecloth.
You are an awesome cook….🎉
Thanks ,Ms. Tammy I always thought fruit cake should be something that was good, I’ve only ate the store kind , when I get into my new house I will give it a try. I might have to save up some ,for that it does look like it might cost a good bit ,but it will be worth it iam sure. You made me want it more by tasting it 😊 have a blessed day or night , Betty
I LOVE fruit cake! Thank you so much!
