{"product_id":"fruitcake-9781494239732","title":"Fruitcake!","description":"Fruitcakes, whether you love them or think they are ugly doorstops, are a traditional part of holiday sweets. Preserved by soaking in brandy, bourbon, or rum for weeks or months, they have a very long shelf life if kept wrapped tightly too. That has always endeared them to homemakers who were guaranteed a delicious sweet to serve with tea or coffee if unexpected guests should arrive. Today, more fruitcakes are the production of a factory bakery than the home kitchen, but the best ones are always homemade. Whether you like a heavy cake chock full of nuts and candied fruit, or prefer lighter ones made with dehydrated fruits, there is sure to be a recipe that will become your own specialty. 32 different fruitcakes, including \"un-fruitcakes\" that do not resemble traditional ones at all, no-bake versions that probably do not qualify as cakes, and more traditional recipes featuring candied or dried fruits, there is surely a recipe to suit almost everyone, even the fruitcake-haters among us. Learn how to make recipes truly your own, and suit your own family's tastes as well.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Createspace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50416383721746,"sku":"9781494239732","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_d020e0cc-9734-4bb0-879b-e2683e48c2ad.jpg?v=1729416678","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/fruitcake-9781494239732","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
