December is National Fruitcake Month
Fruitcakes used to be perfectly legitimate holiday season gifts. These dense loaves of candied fruit, nuts, and flour have an especially long shelf life, as they traditionally are soaked in brandy or liqueurs and sprinkled with powdered sugar. This explains the old joke about there being only one fruitcake in the world that gets re-gifted from house to house! Happy National Fruitcake Month!
