Expert Tips

Make Petite Fruitcakes when you place a paper or foil baking cup in each of 24 medium muffin cups, 2 1/2x1 1/4 inches. Divide batter evenly among cups (about 1/3 cup each). Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove from pan to wire rack. Makes 24 servings.

Enjoy chocolate-coated fruitcake drops! Cut leftover fruitcake into 1-inch cubes. Spear each cube with a toothpick and dip into melted chocolate candy coating (almond bark). Set fruitcake cubes on waxed paper to harden.

I have been making my version of this fruitcake for over 35 years. It is a family favorite and although my children will not eat other fruitcakes this one is a must have for Christmas. I use twice as much fruit and add prunes, currents and raisins but leave out the citrus. This makes a dense almost all fruit and nut fruit cake. This is a great recipe!
