FRUITCAKE CRUSADE

About five years ago, we decided, after much discussion, that fruitcake does not deserve the incredibly bad reputation that it has been handed over the last thirty years. So we made it our goal to bring about a fruitcake renaissance by scouting out the finest fruit ingredients that the world has to offer. After extensive research, tasting, and many, many, rejections, we believe that we have put together a very impressive collection. We have found these luscious Australian fruits to be beyond compare, our dried fruits to be of the highest quality,and a superlative selection of nuts. Apparently, many of you agree with us, as we have a hard time keeping these extraordinary items on the shelf!

Our fruitcake campaign has been so successful that several of our clients have inquired about the possibility of La Cuisine hosting a fruitcake competition. We would love to have your thoughts and feedback on this suggestion.

If you don't have a favorite or family recipe, check out ours, along with Virginia's blog about the care and feeding of these precious fruitcakes.
