Food Fights: The Biggest Culinary Scandals Of 2011
Back in 1999, an idea was formed when one fruitcake fan was ridiculed for her beliefs by a group of fruitcake-hating coworkers. That idea was to start the Society for the Protection and Preservation of Fruitcake, bringing together those who enjoy the much-maligned holiday food. The founder put her recipe online and the cause has been gaining momentum - slowly, but steadily - ever since.
The SPPF is a non-membership organization, so there are no meetings, dues or group fruitcake swaps, but on their website, you will find the founder's recipe which seems to make at least 14 pounds of fruitcake (5 large loaf pans and 8 one pound loaf pans), links to the recipes from other supporters of the SPPF and links to lots of other fruitcake loving websites.

A rich, but inexpensive fruitcake

I would post my mother's recipe but of course she has NO recipe and says "Oh, you know how, you helped me make it for years." No, I don't mom. Thanks. I did get her to tell me what she used as a base recipe though. Now, if I could just iron it all out perfectly AND write it down by the time my kids become fruitcakes...err I mean by the time they want to bake a fruit cake.

I don't know what it will taste like but I hope it's a good one. In any case, it will be just about enough since no one else in my family cares for it. A perfect solution.
