I don't mind the fruit, unless there is too much of it. What I cannot stand is what they call the "citronate" and "orangeade", the rinds "embellished" with sugar to make it palatable. My cousin sends me a box of gingerbread every year from Germany for Christmas which also contains a "Stollen". While I love stollen they have also put some of those d....n things in there which I have to pick out before I eat it.

My mother was the only person I ever knew who genuinely loved fruitcake. G** rest her soul! I often ordered 3 or four Collin Street cakes so I could give them to her on other occasions. She had a way of doctoring them. She would pour a half pint of brandy over the cake, and let it ferment (?) for a few weeks. I must admit they weren't too bad after she had given them the treatment.
