My father made the best fruitcake, light with french brandy and the
citron tasted great. I tried making it and the citron tasted
terrible. I just want to buy one for now - anyone know of a good
merchant?

where are you? I make fruitcake to sell and it is delicious. I know I
know, I'm biased, but I do have many repeat customers. I'd be happy to ship
one off toyou. Mine is a dark fruitcake though, not light. Wendy

Well, some years ago (back in ... ye ghods, 1980? ACK!), when I was in high
school band, we sold very good fruitcakes as a fund-raiser. The original
Texas Manor Fruicakes are available online now and, if they're anything as
good now as they were then, I'd say it's a pretty nice fruitcake -- not too
dark, not too light.

ObDisclaimer: I haven't ordered from this vendor, nor have I tasted this
fruitcake in 25 years, so I can't personally vouch for either. Sorry.
When you're ready to make your own fruitcake again, you might consider
making your own candied peel, if you can't find anything decent in the
stores. I'm on a constant quest, myself, to find candied peel in "caps,"
rather than small pieces, to see if it really is "better" (for whatever
quantity of better there is where candied peel is concerned :)).

Wow, my high school band sold these, too. I was a senior in 1963, so you
can tell how long it's been since I've tasted these. Although my mom made
her own fruitcake, we also bought at least one of these each year. They
were wonderful.
Thanks for reminding me!

I've been making my own fruitcake for a long time, but I may just try a
Texas Manor Fruitcake soon, if no other than nostalgic reasons. :-)
