[@pinkeyramsarran2790]

Wow looks so yummy.thanks for sharing your recipe.

[@kimberlynandlal4166]

This is exactly how I like my fruit cake.

[@candythaglamcook]

See i know quite a few people who don't like a dense pudding texture cake they like it in the middle cakey but still fruity and rich. This is the perfect texture.

[@Nia-1a]

Candy you need an award for this - the most simplest and easiest instructions ever, that cake looks so delicious. Always wanted how to make the burnt sugar but it is too complex but yours is so simple. Love of black cake but I used fruit juice, no alcohol and never had enough. Never thought you could used a hand blender to blend the fruit. I will try it. 🏆🏆 Masterchef Candy 🏆🏆

[@candythaglamcook]

Hi Nia thank you. The recipe is very simple I think making bigger batches of it can be overwhelming. That's the difference. But Good luck with the recipe hope ot turns out great. 😊

[@lenoremcintoshjordan8185]

Very beautiful recipe my island sister.

[@nataliecarimbocas6255]

it looks spongy will try it weekend thank u for sharing I always wanted to know how to make it spongy .

[@candythaglamcook]

You're welcome.

[@jasminethomas8615]

Listen thanks so much for your recipe I tried this and in a matter of two days my family killed the came. They were actually arguing over it. My confidence was so high after this I have to do it again. The only thing it was sweet so instead of putting sugar with browning. You can use the browning alone because the fruits are sweet as well.

[@candythaglamcook]

That's awesome, yes you can add less sugar if it's too sweet.

[@realisrare]

EXCELLENT RECIPE!! THANK YOU!! PERFECTION!!

[@RacquelsCaribbeanCuisine]

This is perfection!! What a cake look good! Wow 🤩 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@candythaglamcook]

Thank you Racquel ❤️

[@trojanleo123]

This cake has the perfect color. Loved the recipe. Thank you.

[@unachow7270]

This is such a thorough tutorial on “Christmas Fruit Cake”. In Trinidad there is a light red wine called “Cherry Brandy” which we add so the cake is not too Rummy. It’s only made there so it may not be available in the USA. Your fruit/wine/rum combination are A++ and it so moist with the perfect colour! I’ll give you 2 Tips one of which I got from an elderly lady in Grenada “add a little white/dark rum to eggs to cut the rawness” and if you want to save time try “SARSONS RICH AND DARK BROWNING” which is made in England and available in most of the islands. You will be pleased with the results each time. 🙏👩‍🍳for inviting us into your kitchen for this step by step 🎄 recipe which I’ll be trying in early December 🥰🌹

[@candythaglamcook]

Thank you Una. First time hearing about adding rum to the eggs will try that next time..I know about browning I used that in my older recipe but wanted to show folks that it can be done another way by carmalizing the sugar. But I appreciate you stopping by thank you and have a wonderful day.

[@unachow7270]

The browning by SARSONS I suggested is not like any other. You can make your cake as light colour or literally black and it comes out great each time. I have not burnt sugar since 1985 when I discovered this brand! I’ll send you a bottle from island via Canada. My favourite chef 🧑‍🍳💕

[@ramgoolam100]

Your cake looks simply divine, Candy! It's too late to make it this year since you ferment all the fruits for 4 months, but it's on my radar for not only Christmas 2023, but possibly for Easter, too, as a trial run! This is my favorite kinds of cake! Thank you for sharing 💖 Beautiful cake, just beautiful🥰

[@candythaglamcook]

Hi Ms Brenda. You can boil the fruits in the wine and rum on the stove top that's a faster way of doing it. Hope you are able to enjoy it soon thank you so much for stopping by appreciate it 😊

Hi Ms Candy I have a problem with my wine soaked grapes. I had made it about 11-12 days ago and now that I check on it I see bits of white mold on top of it. Is it safe to use if I scrape off the top that has the mold? Or should I dump the whole batch in the garbage? It's just I ended up wasting grapes and wine and I don't want to lose it. But I don't want to use it if it has mold. I had grind mine with a blender and it's more liquid than a thick paste. I had hoped to get more wine and raisins but I just hadn't had the chance to.
