Guys. Can we talk about fruitcake for a second?
1. A lot of fruitcake's bad rep stems from people's seeming inability to take a nice picture of it.
...But look what some nice lighting and arrangement can do:
2. But more often than not, the anti-fruitcake sentiment is ill-conceived hatred-bandwagoning.
Be real: Have you even TASTED it? DON'T BE A SHEEP.
3. I mean, it can be soaked in booze.
4. And the recipe is quite versatile.
Like those weird green cherries? Put in a bunch. Hate nuts? Don't include them. Swap the cherries for apricots. Add figs. Include almonds and walnuts but not cashews. Coat the whole thing in powdered sugar, top it off with a glaze. YOU DO YOU.
5. And, yes. Homemade fruitcakes don't taste anything like the boxed version you've been re-gifting for seven generations.
6. It's fruitcake's world and we're just living in it.
7. Johnny Depp looks good saying it.
So, tell us. Do you like fruitcake?
