. Fruitcake: More than a hefty holiday gift .Some people may recognize some familiar faces in the story
Dec 24, 2018 at 2:41 pm #3569932oh man now I want fruit cake real bad
Jan 2, 2019 at 6:29 pm #3571096Has anybody carried fruitcake while backpacking? How long will it last in the summer?
Jan 3, 2019 at 7:21 am #3571172We have carried fruit cake and Xmas pudding. Keep it wrapped up so it does not dry out.
We found it did not last very long, but that was because we ate it.Cheers
Jan 4, 2019 at 6:41 pm #3571479Fruit cake has been a backpacking breakfast/snack/dessert staple of mine for years. My wife’s traditional version is soaked in rum. What more can I say? OK. There’s nothing quite like good hunk of dark, dense, rum soaked fruitcake with that first strong black morning coffee . . . I’m getting all excited just thinking about it.

Apr 2, 2019 at 5:40 am #3586644Like fruit cake holiday gifts, this thread keeps coming back. Now I want some too! But I don’t deserve it until I take off a few rolls.
Apr 2, 2019 at 12:54 pm #3586662Karen – Everyone deserves fruit cake!
I realize that everyone has their own personal preferences, but I will say it again…
Apr 2, 2019 at 5:54 pm #3586695Somebody needs to do a spreadsheet ranking fruitcakes in terms of caloric density.
Apr 2, 2019 at 5:54 pm #3586696Please
Apr 3, 2019 at 2:25 am #3586766White fruitcake is the best. I have made it in muffin version, and yes, carried it hiking.
