Sorry to hear of your fruitcake problem. My suggestion is that you try a
Costco fruitcake that's sold during the holidays. It's a three and a
half pound giant that's chock full of pineapples, cherries, and pecans.
I still got half of one in the back of my refrigerator. At this rate, I
might finish it by September of this year. It's a solid mass and a
little gooey - you'll either love it or think it's disgusting.
