This puts me in a holiday mood. Can't wait to get this book. And a slice or two of the cake with a cup of hot chocolate, YUM.
I think I just might put on some Christmas music.

How sweet you and Matt look. He is precious. My granddaddy's name was Matthew. If either of my two girls had been a boy, they would have been Matthew. The fruit cake looks delicious.

I will definitely be trying this recipe!! Oh, I am also putting your book on my Wish List, as I just bought 20 books in PA, and your's couldn't be found anywhere!! Does that mean the copies sold out so fast. We were just there last week!!!

The fruitcake looks delicious, but I was wondering, on the two cups fruit is it stuff like raisin, chopped apples and stuff? Also, if you use the fruit instead of the applesauce does it take away some of the moisture?

We used dried fruits, and it was still very moist and delicious!

I bet you could use fresh chopped apples, raisins and pecans or walnuts in this too! Wouldn't that would be good? I guess you could experiment with different fruits too.
