>ayylmao nobody can make fruit cake taste good
Said it for you so you don't have to - care to share recipes on how to repurpose or reconstruct fruit cake?
I actually enjoy fruit cake but only in small quantities like candy because it's richly sweet. I was going to turn them into rum balls instead because I got the alcohol free Homebrand stuff to use up and the alcohol helps cut down the sweetness I think.
Was also thinking of an old breakfast thing where we'd get over ripe bananas and fry them in a pan because they looked unappetising all brown and mushy and overly sweet like that. Great cooked with bacon. Thinking of doing the same with slices of fruitcake for breakfast tomorrow.
I always loved fruitcake, just never the store ones, they're always kind of shitty for whatever reason.
Berauwecka, bitch.

i used this recipe, although i used pecans instead of walnuts. i like it. it's not overly sweet, but a little goes a long way.
I made a fruit cake this year that used no added granulated sugar at all. All the sweetness came from using pumpkin puree and some leftover date puree (that I had used to make pinwheel cookies), and of course the dried fruits. It wasn't overly sweet, but tasted great, everyone seemed to like it., there wasn't any left by Christmas night.
To re-purpose fruitcake......you could crumble it up and add to other baked goods, like muffin batter, or pancake batter, or cookie dough. You could make it even more decadent (if it's a moist fruitcake) by making it into balls, dipping them into a batter, and deep frying them, then dust them with some powdered sugar. You could make the rum balls, like you said. You could make them into cake pops. You could also freeze it for later, fruitcakes freeze really well.

Just make a tea loaf instead, looks kinda like fruit cake and tastes sublime.
The trick to a good fruit cake is alcohol. Lots and lots of alcohol. Soak the fruit & peel in it before you make the cake. Feed the cake with it while you mature it. Put alcohol in the damn cake.

Looks good
This thread is about what to do with excess fruitcake, hilarious that only the frog poster got it
Guess you kids haven't gotten to stage where you're left with this every year's Christmas party your wife encourages you host.

The OP asked something retarded and we repurposed his potentially retarded thread into something useful.
This is now a general fruitcake thread.

Buy Panettone instead of whatever other inferior fruit cake you were planning on buying and make french toast with it

Talking about fruitcake, I need to start baking next year's batch.
