PINEAPPLE COCONUT FRUITCAKE
I really don't care much for fruitcake. That being said, this recipe actually sounds like it might be good. I am adding it here so I can find the recipe to bake for Christmas. I may substitute 1/2 cup coconut rum for half the pineapple juice when I make it. NOTE: Cake needs to mellow for 2 weeks before serving.
