Couldn’t remember if I liked fruitcake...
Mother always served fruitcake around the holidays, but she’s been gone 3 years & I haven’t had any since. I guess I felt nostalgic, so I started looking online to see what was available. Everything “looked” good in the pictures, but they were quite pricey. Wasn’t about to spend almost $50 for a 2 lb fruitcake in the pretty tins (that I might not like after all), so kept looking.
eBay is my normal “go to” site, so checked it out. Saw offers for Claxton Fruitcake & recognized the name; but, for the lower cost, how good could it really be? Decided to try the 1 lb version (regular, not dark) & figured I would get at least one bite for old time’s sake. Well...
Could not have been more surprised. It’s delicious: moist, just the right balance of nuts & fruit. To be honest, I had to restrain myself from eating too much at one sitting. This version is just plastic wrapped (as shown), but well-wrapped, & mailed in a perfectly protected package so it arrived intact. I am so smart for taking this chance & this will not be my last purchase. Thanks, Claxton; I’m not easy to impress (despite my gushing in this review), but color me happy.
