Fruit Cake

I know that this time of year is famous for all the "fruit cake" jokes and after trying a few I agree that they are well deserved. But one of my most cherished memories is being old enough to be included with "the women folk" when the holiday cooking would start. I think I was about seven years old when I was given a pair of scissors and the honor of helping cut up the candied fruit while my aunts would shell pecans and assemble the rest of the ingredients. The warmth and the smell of my mom's kitchen is something I will never forget. I remember feeling safe and loved and all "grown-up" as I sat and listened to all of them share their memories of Christmas's before. Happy Holidays to all and please take time to "make" a memory with someone you love.

I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED FRUIT CAKES EVER SINCE I HELPED MY GRANDMOTHER MAKE HERS AT CHRISTMAS TIME. I KNOW MANY DO NOT LIKE THEM BUT THEY ARE STILL A HIT WITH ME .MAYBE THAT IS BECAUSE I WAS BORN AND RAISED IN KY , HOME OF THE KY JIM BEAM BOUBON AND WE SOAK OURS IN THAT FOR 2 OR 3 DAYS BEFORE WE EAT IT , YUMMY
