It won't matter to Crash, since this is the first fruitcake he's ever
liked. I'll make it just for him. I don't like walnuts.

As it turns out, the recipe I used (developed by Mom and me, according
to the recipe card) isn't the one I remember from childhool. I
believe I've found her recipe online, and am working on getting a
couple things clarified before I make a batch. It's Dark Fruitcake
from Fanny Farmer's Baking Book.
