The return of Fruitcake?

 It used to be a Christmas tradition. My Mom would make several of them to give out to family and friends....I always threw mine in the trash. 

To be honest, I regret it. I should've at least tried it. Mom stopped making it years ago and for the longest the only place you could get it was the smushed one inside a tin can at the grocery store that looked horrific and was appetizing to exactly no one!

But I'd like to see it make a come back now. Maybe it's my old age and I'm going soft....like fruit cake, but I've dared my sister to try making some at her bakery to see if it can come back. 

She still hasn't done it. 

I get it though. Expensive to make it the right way and who would pay for something that over the years has had a terrible reputation for tasting awful? 

Do you know anyone who still makes it? Have you tried it? Would you try it again? Do you LOVE fruit cake?

I'm seriously all ears.
