Personal Notes:
Haven't had these for a long, long time. Mom always made these at Christmas time. She liked to pack them in tins and give them to friends. She also made a wonderful fruit cake with candied fruit. She soaked it in rum and aged it for days. People make fun of fruit cakes, but mom's was exceptionally good.
