Grandma's Killer Fruitcake

It's hostiliday time again. This time I'm dealing with that holiday food we all love to hate: fruitcake. Calvin Trillin denies being the one to first say that there's only one fruitcake that gets endlessly recycled but I'm pretty sure he did. I don't know about you but if I get a fruitcake, I pass it along or use it as a doorstop. Hmm, I wonder if we should try using fruitcake to rebuild the wetlands? Nah, they'd sink immediately

This video is both clever and creepy but anyone who hated Hee Haw will run and hide. I like the dish with possum on it though:

loved the possum pie. i figured out why i hate fruit cake. i HATE HATE HATE rum. can you use vodka or whiskey?

Good fruitcake doesn't involve that nasty "candied" crap you see crawling back out of Fruit Zombie Zone about a week after Halloween.

You don't have to use rum. Brandy's good. Bourbon works. I dunno about vodka, I loathe the stuff.

I highly recommend, though, you don't use Everclear.

i prefer stollen.

I vote for this song as a new holiday classic. Damned better than "Last Christmas."
