Some Fruitcake Background

The tradition of holiday fruitcakes dates back to the colonists in and around the time of the American Revolution.  Because it is so rich in healthy carbohydrates, the fruitcake was considered to be a tried-and-true “energy bar” by colonial troops giving them strength and endurance.  When they returned home from the battlefield for the holidays, the soldiers brought with them a demand for the delicious fruitcake they remember.  They renewed that demand year-after-year, and a tradition was born.
