Does anyone have a family recipe to share? For years and years we received one from a family our son was friends with (their son). We were always delighted when it came. Well kids grow up and move away. Appreciate any recipe. MM

I'm too lazy to type out the recipe card. This version is fairly close. Any version that requires at least two risings will probably be good.
Use fresh candied fruit, if you use it! I dice mine finely so it doesn't look like a fruit cake.

My grandmother use to make this every year and we couldn't gobble it up fast enough...then my mom made it and the smell and aroma was just wonderful, got my grandmothers recipe from my dad a few years back and after 60 years, it still takes me back to when I was a kid during the holidays...this, toasted with a big ol slab of butter was a delight any time of day...make one and guard it with your life! LOL
