I've always wanted a good light fruitcake recipe, and King Arthur it looks like you've come through again. I have a dark fruitcake recipe that I love, that is probably close to 100 years old (maybe more). It was from the mother of one of my mother's friends (and my mother is 83!) and she never gave out her recipes. The way we got it was that my brother was in the service and my mother wanted to make some to send to him. I'm so glad you were able to get a copy of the beloved recipes. It's always a struggle to decide to keep your special recipes secret or share them, but in the last few years I've really been leaning towards sharing more than not. I'd hate to see my daughter and her friends sad because they didn't know the secret to my pizza crust. Thanks for chiming in, and Happy Fruitcake Season! ~ MaryJane
