This week I will make my fruit cake for......next winter.
I age mine for a year after soaking it a few time in rum. Next week, after all the turkey, apple pie and pumpkin pies are gone I will break out last year's cake. I make mine directly into those decorative cookie tins, lined with parchment. They are cooked at such a low temp the cookie tins are fine. Storage is great and instant gifts are in cold storage.
