I really wanted this to work! I followed the instructions, made no substitutions and it came out salty and tough. (no I did not overmix the batter!

I have made this anumber of times and everyone (even those who HATE fruitcake ask for more. This year I have a conduction oven and would like to know if anyone has tried using it for this recipe. I would hate to spoil it by cooking it incorrectly. Any suggestions? thanks

I get compliments on this fruitcake from fruitcake lovers and non-lovers. My dad (a fruitcake non-lover said to me "I don't know what you did to this fruitcake, but I ate it all and left none for your mother (fruitcake lover." I use the decorated paper gift loaf pans (I get about 3 per recipeand give them out as presents. Two years ago, one cake was sent to Ireland as a present." (My son's school principal's ususal fruitcake baker stopped making fruitcakes and I volunteered one to be shipped. They loved it.

This is a super easy and very tasty fruitcake. Anyone who does not like fruitcake has never had this recipe. I like to bake it in little Pyrex rounds (the ones with the plastic tops and then give them as gifts at the holiday.

Everyone who has tried the finished product seemed to like it! This is a very easy recipe to make. In fact, the hardest part is resisting the temptation to eat all of the rum-soaked fruit.

There are not many recipes I have seen on this site with so many consistent five star ratings - and this one deserves every one of those five stars! Yes, I too was a fruitcake hater but I have come to trust Alton Brown on lots of things that sounded crazy.
With others, I say go to the max or more on the pecans. Also, I agree that the recipe is very generous - I made double the recipe and got three big loaves out of it. The idea of mini-loaves for gifts is an excellent one. I will definitely do that next year!

This is an indescribably enjoyablecake. It has a perfect, moist texture, and is soul-ssatisfying with the spices and lusciousdried fruits. Do go up to a cup of pecans. You can vary the fruits according to tste availability, but the combination Alton has put together is terrific. The only thing I would caution is to not go even slightly over the liquid called for. The cake had perfect cutting texture but I could not cut firm slices this year. Still yummy. Trust me! I have never reviewed a recipe online; this one deserves praise!
