JACKIE'S FRUITCAKE
This is a recipe I made up in 1979. I wanted to make something quick and easy. Took me quite a few tries before it turned out though. I entered it in the county fair and took first place plus the gold ribbon which entitled me to enter the State Fair. So I entered the State Fair and came in second. I was told that if I had told the judges it was an original recipe, I would have taken first place. This was the very first time I had ever entered anything like this before, for both fairs and I guess you could say I was wet behind the ears. Oh well, I sure did have fun.

I got this recipe from a great lady I worked with. She would bring the pound cake in for birthdays etc. I never could get over how yummy it was so finally we sat down and she wrote out the recipe for me. When I first made it I was amazed that I actually could make something that good. Hope you like it too.

- Use high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the final product. Make sure to use fresh, ripe fruit and nuts, and good-quality spices. - Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, which will make the cake light and airy. - Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling. - Stir in the dry ingredients gradually: This will help to prevent the batter from becoming too stiff. - Fold in the fruit and nuts: Be gentle so that you don't break up the fruit. - Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly. - Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.Conclusion
