Is there something close in KAF for a clone of the Harry and David's (fruitcake) Confection??? I have been trying to make that little number since forever! If yu like/love light fruitcakes I can tell you this whatever it is they have will make you an addict like its crack! When looking for a recipe online I found where it was said the recipe for this is now a "secret", but at one time it was a newspaper published recipe and that's where it originated for H and D. It had no alcohol, and only fresh cherries, pineapple and walnuts. The batter is so minimal it just holds the fruit together. I am going to make this posted recipe but half the batter portion and double the fruit portion. (It's ok, I make at least 3 diff fruitcake recipes a yr testing for H and Ds! LOL)
Hey, good luck - let us know how it goes... PJH
