Maraschino cherries baked in a cake or bread is not the same as a maraschino cherry straight out of the jar.I think I like all of the other ingredients in a fruitcake so it a different cherry was used in place of the Maraschinos, I probably would like it. I like various nuts and raisins and pineapple (is that in it?) and.. um.. what else is in it? Dates? I like dried dates and I've had protein bars made with dates as the binder and I liked those. What I am saying is that I would probably like it.![]()
There are also candied citrus fruit rinds in a fruitcake.
