Thank you, PJ. I'm saved!! One of the kids was over a couple of days ago, saw a box in the fridge (isn't it funny that even after they've left the homestead the first thing they do when they come back is stick their head in the fridge?), and almost yelled, "Is that fruitcake?" Confession time here: I used to buy the fruitcake from Gethsemani Monastery every year, and this kid has always been crazy over it. I usually make fruitcake cookies, but this sounds awfully good, especially with the crushed pineapple in it. The cheese ball may have to be delayed a day or two, so that I can get the fruitcake made. Merry Christmas, everyone at King Arthur Flour!!! Warning - this isn't heavy/gooey/strong-flavored like fruitcake.It's just a really nice, moist, fruit "bread." That kinda looks like fruitcake. Glad one of your boys was visiting... ?? MERRY CHRISTMAS, and I hope the coming year is a GOOD one for you, Beth- PJH
