thanks for the link, mm! =) still trying to convince wifey to consider whipping up a batch or five… someone told me about a baker’s depot on north edsa, any feedback on that (supaa)store guys? i figured getting her a new oven and ingredients would give me a little leverage (though i don’t think i can afford a viking like yours, mm. not yet, at least. hehe…).

if i fail to change her (fruitcake averse) mind, i’m considering trying to do it myself. emphasis on ‘trying’, there. =)

hope you guys are all okay. ingat.

thanks a heap for the recipe sister, the fruitcake looks sublime! like marisse(classmate! hehehe), i don’t know where to source fresh nutmeg here in cebu, also dried currants. ditto on the unsulphured molasses. would you know of sources here MM? thanks!

I have a stash of fruitcake which was delivered to me in September. I was told to store it in a cool place so that it will age. I received a batch of 24 containers. Am now left with about twenty two. I used to order them from Cabela’s when I was onboard the USS Independence and we were deployed in the Persian Gulf in 1993.

I am a fool for fruitcake.

Sister,MM or anyone pls. Want to do this right even if it’s late.
Where can we get candied orange and lemon peel?Is that also available where we but the candied fruits? Also, any source of fresh nutmeg? I have nutmeg but it’s the bottled one.Will that do? What is the difference between UNSULPHURED MOLASSES vs the molasses we buy bottled in the baking section of the grocery? Teehee…Just wanna be sure….Salamat muli…
