My mother had this fruit cake receipe that was from an old Mary
Martinson cook book. I tried it when she no longer cooked and found
ovens are much different in cooking times than they were around WWII.
My fruit cake would have made excellent building blocks. Now I settle
for Holiday Bread, a banana bread with chocolate chips, marachino
cherries and walnuts. The liquior on the side.
