I need a good fruitcake recipe that's not tied to a copyright

[Fairy]

I"ll just go to allrecipes.com for one if I need to, but I thought I'd first come here and see if anyone wants to share a goodie that they like.

So, there's such a thing as a good fruitcake? :)

[Fairy]

I think there's probably NOT. But ... it ain't anything I'll be eating. Need it for work, believe it or not.

Totally LOLed. I agree!

I bought DH a spenny one from Gethsemani Farms last year and he really liked it... Not sure of the recipe situation.

Yeah, I need an actual recipe that I can print.

I'd suggest the Good Eats one, but that's copyrighted.

It's called "Free Range Fruitcake" and actually sounds pretty yummy.

There was a good thread about fruitcakes on Chowhound recently:

I've made the recipe from Epicurious that's mentioned at the top of the thread. It has marzipan in it and it's really good, plus you don't have to age the fruitcake.
