Grandmas Fruit Cake

Grandma's Fruit Cake is an age-old original recipe loved by many. Introduced originally by the Romans, it contained pomegranate seeds, pine nuts and raisins mixed into a mash of barley.  Today fruitcakes contain dried fruits, spices and nuts that may be soaked in brandy or rum to make brand or rum fruitcake.  After the colonies in the US found out that sugar acts as a preservative, candied fruit started being used in the more old fashion fruit cake recipe.

Mail order fruitcakes started becoming popular during the early 1900s. Most fruit cakes marketed today do not include alcohol, but traditional recipes are moistened by rum and brandy. Our special “Grandma's Fruit Cake” recipe combines dark rum (aged-in-the-wood) and imported brandy with resins, cherries, pineapples, walnuts and pecans.
