This gross stuff apparently is candied cherries, pineapple, citron, lemon peel & orange peel. Love how it's deemed 'extra fancy'

Never, never, NEVER use the red and green school paste fruit...does anyone even know what fruit it's supposed to be?

Cherries Candied Red and Green.
Before sampling and liking a "homemade" fruitcake, they were not favored by me. I didn't much care for those sold in stores. These fine recipes and others like them have changed my view, and and now look forward to a GOOD slice of fruitcake around the holidays. The standing story around our house (because of the commercially produced variety) was that there was actually one fruitcake in the world and it kept getting passed around each holiday.
Actually, they stopped making fruitcakes in 1914. After each Christmas the Magical Fruitcake Fairy goes all over the world and collects the leftover ones for recycling next year. A century later and there are still more than enough left to meet demand.Fruitcake trivia - there are actually only seven fruitcakes in the entire world, people just keep giving them to each other
