Made this recipe today exactly as written for my 46 year old son and I because we both love fruitcake. I am a diabetic so store-bought is out of the question. This was absolutely wonderful. Nice texture and sweet despite the fact there is no sugar included. This will become my yearly "fruit cake" recipe.Reply
