Mostly POTATO CHIPS and CHOCOLATE. Not together (usually). Love Rolos, Milk Duds, Dove dark chocolate. MMMMMM. Truth be told, I can pretty much open my mouth, tilt my head back, lift the fridge and pour its' contents directly into me gullet!!!!

They both look and sound incredible. Care to share the recipes??? Thanks!

I'd love to see pictures of that basket. Must have been a huge hit!

THANK YO SO MUCH!!!!

I have had my fruit soaking for a year. I always start it in Jan for the following Christmas, soaking the fruit in overproof rum (Wray and Nephew), and Red Label jamaican wine. I use Laurie Colwins recipe as a start. I will probably start on this batch of fruit late, as work has been crazy busy. A dear friend from the islands lost her mom last year, and she brought home her mom's jar of fruit that has been soaking since last year as well. I have the honor of cooking up this cake and only hope to come close to hers! Edited later in the day to add that I made the cakes today. All this reading about it MADE me get to them. (OK, so nobody gets Christmas cards this year!!!!) Made three 8 inch and five 6 inch cakes. Took a nibble of one, and am loopy already!!! Mixed kosher wine and J Wray to soak them in, and couldn't wait another minute. STRONG, but delicious! They'll mellow in a few days and be ready to give out! Thanks for the inspiration!

could someone pleast put a recipe up for a home cook to make these? I have had some incredible ones and hae been dying to make them and experiment with flavors. Also, where can I find the apple pectin? Every google search brings up health food stores that have them in capsules. Thanks
