HEIRLOOM FRUITCAKE



Heirloom Fruitcake image

I found this recipe written out on a card in my grandmother's recipe collection after she passed away. Her instructions say to bake in greased and floured 1-pound coffee cans! They don't make that size coffee can anymore, so I bake it in loaf pans. Wilton may have pans similar to the size of the old coffee cans if you want...
