I've been off this forum for a while ... but this is a subject that is near and dear to my heart :-)

Thanks to those readers who posted recipes - I will try them out.
I thought the photo of the fruit cake on fire was pretty unique ... didn't even know that was possible.

Maybe Myth Busters need to be shooting fruit cakes from cannons, instead of real cannonballs?! It might be slightly less hazardous :-)
