Personal Notes:
This is Mark's mom (Erna) recipe. She would make fruit cake every year & put all her love into making these for all her family & friends. This was her gift to many letting them know how much she appreciated them & loved them. I looked forward to this every year! Tradition & memories are a wonderful thing!
