Homemade Fruitcake Recipes

Fruitcake is always a Christmas holiday dessert that can be bought in grocery stores and even some retail stores all over America.

But, if you really desire a unique and flavorful fruitcake you should make one from scratch. Nothing is better than a homemade fruitcake at Christmas time.

But you don't have to limit yourself to Christmas when it comes to enjoying Fruitcake.

If you would like to try your hand at creating your own homemade fruitcake you should try this recipe.

You will need:

• 4 eggs,
• 1 cup of diced dates,
• ½ cup of diced candied cherries,
