I second that, looks incredibly rich.

Nice job and yes it looks like the traditional Stollen. I have made it in the past with a bunch of marzipan.

My post Thanksgiving dinner dessert. Apricot Frangipan tart.

Somebody on every street has a lemon tree, so maybe lemon leaves will work.

I will be waiting with baited breath.

Can we make it for less and taste damn close?

Do you think frozen would be just as good, if they don't have fresh at this time of year?

Do you mind giving me the name of the Asian market? I don't think there are a lot of Asian markets in town, but if you think it is a common product I will just drop in at the closest Asian market when I make a TJs run. Thanks

David, where are you buying the leaves?

Okay I see now. I thought you were buying them separatly and I was adding it all up and I just couldn't see buying it that way . I see the mixed glazed peel is more reasonable, so I think I will jump on it and purchase some. Do you think I should make the fruitcake this year to be eaten the following year, or consumed this year?

Didn't that cost a small fortune?

What fruits exactly did you purchase for your cake?

Was just hoping there was a healthier version. I could just buy a bunch of dried fruit and chop them up, but it does get pricey when its all said and done.
