Once again,a thank you to MM.We are ordering 2 Collins fruitcakes this morning?There web site might make a person drool on their keyboard.

[drobertson]

 not sure about the claxtons'  but aunt opal made  fruit cakes from scratch that would put any to shame
, just saying store bought is what it is packaged and stored,,til when it's sold, but fruit cakes can show up anywhere at any time,  ;D

[Magicman]

I finished the first Collin Street Fruitcake and have now started on the second (anonymous) one.  MMmmmmmm.

Dang, MM your Texas fruitcakes must have the same shortcomings as mine. Once you open the tin, they seem to just evaporate. I opened ours yesterday and it's already half gone.  >:(

Any body had Southern Supreme fruit cakes from Bear Creek NC?  My daughter in law indicates they are very good.

YEP Magic Man, those Corsicana fruitcakes are super good.  I miss them.  Can't eat much sweets anymore but I ate my share of them.

My first wife made a very good fruit cake .Some were laced with peach brandy .For those who don't know the baking process all but renders the alcohol out of the mix.

[scgargoyle]

That's why you put the rum on it AFTER it's baked! :D

[ironman123]

That is right...After it is baked.  Wrap it in cheesecloth, soak it in your choice of alcohol, place it it a tin in a dry place.  Resoak every 3-4 days for at least 3 weeks.  Then maybe on e more for good luck.  Oh boy.

My Collins fruitcake,2 of them, arrived today.I have never been a fan of fruitcake but I am here to tell I have been converted.The first one is for our family,the 2nd one for a woman who has given my family a lot of work over the years.Much obliged for the heads up. :christmas:

 Southern Supreme are very good. They are about 20 miles from me. I'm having a craving now.

[samandothers]

Buck
I may have to get that way and buy one or order one.   DIL states they are good.

[samandothers]

Wanted to post this for two reasons:

Primarily to say thanks to Buck.  I had asked the question if someone had tried Southern Supreme fruit cakes that I needed to try one.  Buck sent me one.  My wife and I got to enjoy a great gift!

Secondly is to say the Southern Supreme Fruit cake is great!  My daughter in law stated there were good and she was right.  Great nut, fruit and cake flavor.  It was very soft and tasty.

  Sam is that a no bake fruitcake.

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

Since Y'all done let the cat out of the bag (old saying)
Thanks Buck......The Southern Supreme Fruit Cake is the best I've ever had.

We're gonna order some.  8) 8) 8) 8) 8)
