  Fruitcake lovers take note December 28, 2008 I purchased this fruitcake for my husband, who loves fruitcake. He said it was delicious! However, he did take note that it was not as good as my mother's. I tried it and he was right. I think because she wrapped it in rum or whiskey soaked cloths for 6 months before she served it made the difference. He did rate it as better than the $10.00 grocery store fruitcakes. If my mother's recipe didn't make about 20 pounds of fruitcake and take two people to mix, I would make it again. Meantime, because of the economy, we'll stick to the grocery store.
  Try it! You'll love it! November 5, 2007 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
To use layman's terms, the fruitcake made by the monks at the Assumption Abbey near Ava, MO is the Jimi Hendrix of fruitcakes. You can order them directly from the Abbey at [...] You will never laugh at a fruitcake joke again.
