The Gift That Kept Giving


It's two weeks after Christmas and I can officially say the holiday season is over. Today I have eaten the last piece of Harry & David Fruit Cake Confection.

"It's true: Harry's original 1947 recipe is such a well-guarded secret, it's kept under lock and key.
If you've ever tasted one though, you know that our Fruit Cake Confection is loaded with plenty of premium whole cherries, sweet golden pineapple, crisp English walnuts and Southern pecans. The ingredients are so delicate, the batches so small, each confection is individually formed by hand. The fruit's gently folded with just enough light golden batter to hold it all together for easy slicing."

Basically it is fruitcake without the cake. Or a little piece of holiday heaven. It's 1 1/2 pounds of sweet perfection that makes my soul smile and my stomach gurgle with delight. But now it is gone and with it so ends Christmas.

Thank you to my wife who purchased this wheel of fruity awesomeness. You are wonderful.
