Food Friday: Fruit Cake

I have a confession to make. I like fruit cake. I realize this is like confessing to a criminal act, but I don't care.  I like fruit cake. Maybe because no one ever forced me to eat it.  Maybe because no one has ever given me one. But I do like it.

Here are three recipes from ladies who probably liked it as well. Notice that all their spices are from Folger's. Quite possibly they were a sponsor of this community cookbook. All but one recipe calls for some liquor. To see a better copy of these recipes, see the cookbook .

These recipes are from the California (San Francisco) M.E. Church Cook Book by the Ladies' Aid Society (n.d.), page 41.
