Fruitcake
-
The cake everyone loves to hate. Except me.
But my favorite was the Jane Parker fruitcakes from long defunct A&P stores. Turns out they are making the Jane Parker cakes again from the original recipe. It's a real childhood memory for me. Hope they are as good as I remember them. They were nice and moist, and the fruit and nuts were delicious.
I sent one to both my brothers and got one for us.

My mum used to make wonderful fruitcakes - at Christmas it would always be a traditional British Christmas cake - essentially heavy fruitcake with icing.
She didn't cook much that was fancy, but she made awesome fruitcake, and something we call parkin, which is a kind of gingerbread cake made with treacle and molasses - traditional in Lancashire and Yorkshire.

We usually get panettone from Italy this time of year
