What I had was close - it was kind of a fruit tart thing - delicious!<br /><br />Jo - Good cherries in a fruitcake are a must - good luck with your fruitcake!<br /><br />Lori - Yeah, I don't think my arms and wrists are up to this effort any more (though I still have my mother's recipe).<br /><br />Kristin - To me, pecans are the king of nuts, though I like most of the other nuts, too. If I did return to making fruitcakes, I would probably use my KitchenAid, too.<br /><br />Thank you all for stopping by!Greta Koehlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05429623811794360612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5324800784948486726.post-36767442056008024432010-12-14T17:59:27.998-08:002010-12-14T17:59:27.998-08:00i like pecans in mine too. but i do use a mixer f...i like pecans in mine too. but i do use a mixer for the batter before adding all the stuff.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06413795611563683135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5324800784948486726.post-13312538267697159822010-12-14T13:15:16.656-08:002010-12-14T13:15:16.656-08:00Lady, you made my arms tired just reading this pos...Lady, you made my arms tired just reading this post! lol!
