Speaking of fruitcake... my family always made Italian fruitcake at Christmas time. Totally different than anything I've ever seen before. I did a google search, and still can't find anything remotely close.
Our dough was made with wine (the reddest, sweetest, cheapest stuff made for the best cakes lol). Its rolled out thin, then we add a little sugar and cinnamon, some nuts, and its all rolled up real purty like, and baked. Took all day, even with several of us participating in the making. (the wine could have contributed to dragging out the process..

)
This is the only pic I could find in my stash. Anyone ever seen anything like it?
