Mom's recipe is sketchy...I remember she made fruit cakes after butcher day (fresh sausage) usually around Thanksgiving. There were several cakes.She wrapped them in cloth and saturated with grape wine, and put them in large container.
Wine was added periodically to keep moist. Cakes were delicious at Christmas time.

Personal Notes:
Mom used Granddaddy's homemade grape wine.
