I made my first batch of fruitcake today. Will probably do the other
batch over the weekend. It should be good by Christmas. I make it
before Thanksgiving since the boys usually come down for Thanksgiving
and would take them home with them. This year they will be here at
Christmas so they can get them then. I'm not mailing them since I
have 4 others that have to be mailed.
