"Yes, I know there are people who don't like fruitcake. But I am not one of them. When I saw this recipe, I knew I had to try it. It is easy to make -- and delicious! It adds a dash of fun to your hostess table. Actually I don't know where i even found this recipe, but I've had it a long time. If you make your own candied orange peel, it will add special goodness to this recipe."
