Fruit Cake

Thanksgiving day is just around the corner. I was thinking of baking x'mas fruit cake for a pilot run. I never had a chance to bake this cake mainly because it is too rich and full of fruits and nuts which I do not really like.

Anyway, I baked one yesterday as the "trial version". The look was not so bad. However, the mixed fruits I bought from the hypermarket way too sweet. Maybe, next time I need to find unsweetened mixed fruits.

I found this recipe from the book which I bought in year 2004 and only just started reading the book recently. >.<
