kengrThis year I once again made the mistake of buying one of the WinCo "Fruit & nut rings".
It was as bad as many people claim fruitcake is. Among other thing's less tham half the height was actual cake". The glace fruit and nuts were sort of piled on top and slightly stuck togeher by the stickiness.
Tjhe cake part was pretty dry.
After that, I had vague memories that I hadn't been that happy with the "fruit & nut dessert cake" that Albertson's sold. And at $9 for a 1 pound cake (fairly small) I decided not to risk it.
But tonight I saw several of them on the bakery mark down rack for only $3. I grabbed a couple. I just had a slice and it's not bad. Doesn't have enough fruit for a prper fruitcake, but it's moist and has decent flavor.
Given that they''ll keep for months, if anyt are left tommorrow I'll probably buy them. It'll take me a long time to go thru them if I keep the slices small, but I can freeze some of them.
