    I've made this recipe since 2000 with rave reviews from friends - they make great little gifts. Important note - poke holes in slightly stale fruitcakes with a bamboo skewer BEFORE wrapping in cheesecloth, this avoids embedding cheesecloth fibers in the fruitcake. I hate "candied" fruit - but this recipe w/ dried fruit is wonderful! Another important note, disposable small loaf pans can be reused for multiple batches during the season, Don't wash - just re-spray and reuse. Toss them - or recycle at the end of the season.

    The recipe is great, but 1 cup of batter in a 1 lb. loaf pan? You would have crisp toast!!!

    I made in mini bread loaf tins and wrapped in cheesecloth.
    One of the best recipes I have ever come across. I use dried blueberries, apricots and cherries. Just keep basting it. Keep it in the freezer, defrost in microwave in seconds. Very impressive.

    I decided to make these and give as Christmas gifts. I followed the recipe exactly and they did not turn out as I had envisioned. The cakes would crumble once you started to slice into them. I ended up calling them Creole Christmas Crumble Cakes. There simply were too many nuts and fruits in it to cut smoothly. They had a tasty flavor but I won't be making these again.
