That sounds good, Paul; I like fruit cake.
The recipe I have suggests putting the peal of an orange in the mix, but calls for candied peal, as well. It also says fruit cakes are best if aged for a few months in a cool place. Must be a keeper.
I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
