Love your list. Here's what I make instead of fruitcake during the
> Holidays. There may be others, like me who don't care for fruitcake.

For all those of us, who don't care for the traditional holiday fruitcake.
This is a great alternative.
For the mixed fruit, I use a mixture of raisins, dried apricots, and a
small
amount of orange and lemon rind, (finely chopped), and mixed with a little
flour to prevent the fruit from sticking together.
Happy Holidays
