What a great fruitcake riff! I've challenged a friend to a "Oh, really, you don't like fruitcake, do you?" contest and am determined to have her saying "yum" by New Years. I'm now planning to make this -- substituting dried apricots for the candied cherries for a cranberry-apricot version -- and the KAF light golden fruitcake. She's bound to like at least one of them! I find it actually helps a lot if you don't call it fruitcake, too. Call it Apricot-Cherry Christmas Cake - she'll rave! :) PJH
