Regifting a fruitcake from one year to the next is something of a tradition for some.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am one of those people who actually loves fruitcake. It doesn&#8217;t matter whether it is your run of the mill Claxton fruitcake or a special one baked by Trappist monks. I love them all. I have been enjoying a Claxton fruit cake for the last few days one small piece at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"853\" src=\"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Claxton-fruit-cake-1024x853.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33917\" style=\"width:468px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Claxton-fruit-cake-1024x853.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Claxton-fruit-cake-300x250.jpg 300w, https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Claxton-fruit-cake-768x640.jpg 768w, https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Claxton-fruit-cake-640x533.jpg 640w, https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Claxton-fruit-cake-940x783.jpg 940w, https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Claxton-fruit-cake.jpg 1152w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:39px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image-12.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33918\" style=\"width:586px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image-12.png 1000w, https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image-12-300x240.png 300w, https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image-12-768x614.png 768w, https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image-12-640x512.png 640w, https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image-12-940x752.png 940w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Assumption Abbey Bakery<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:41px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best fruitcake recipes I&#8217;ve ever found was in the Joy of Cooking.

The last time I made one I used orange peel and citron as the fruit filling along with English walnuts. I can&#8217;t remember if I used rum, bourbon, or sherry to baste it as it has been a few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To all the fruit cake haters out there, you don&#8217;t know what you are missing! Besides it makes great survival food.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fruitcakes are the Christmas treat that many love to hate.
