(More customer reviews)I know most people don't like fruitcake, it's a huge joke. And that's fine, I'm cool with that. Nobody said you _have_ to eat fruitcake. I wasn't a fruitcake lover myself until I was an adult.
My grandmother always made fruitcake and I wouldn't touch it. My brother had told me that the candied fruit was plastic. Of course, he still ate it. So eventually I tried my grandmother's fruitcake and it was delicious. And I married a man who likes fruitcake, so that began my fruitcake experimentation.
Homemade fruitcake is completely different from store bought fruitcake. Store bought fruitcake is dry and has only a smattering of fruit. Obviously, the commercial bakeries do _not_ use the Pennant Fruitcake Mix.
This is a great fruitcake mix because it actually has a variety of candied fruit, not just a few pieces of citron or "mystery fruit" the "other" in the ingredients. The package it is sold in (16 ounces) makes it easy to use with your fruitcake recipe because of what most recipes require. The fruit is tasty, chopped well and believe it or not, inexpensive for this type of thing. Go check the grocery stores if you don't believe me, you'll see what I mean.
So if you're planning on making a fruitcake for somebody who deserves it and will appreciate it, I strongly recommend you use the Pennant Fruitcake Mix. Or for that matter, any other recipe that requires candied fruit. This mix will make your baked items delicious and easy to put together.
See how much better a fruitcake can be when you make it yourself.

Pennant Fruit Cake Mix, 16 Ounce Tubs (Pack of 4)Product Description: Paradise Fruit Company was incorporated in 1961 as part of Canaveral Utilities and Development Co., a land development operation on the east coast of Florida. The name "Paradise", a label used by a company that had been in the 'glace' (candied) fruit business since the end of WW2,was acquired by Canaveral during the year of incorporation.After several acquisitions and mergers with similar businesses, 'glace' fruit became the major segment of the company's business. In 1965, the name was changed to Paradise Fruit Company, Inc. During those years, there were a number of relatively small operations manufacturing candied fruit, primarily for sale to commercial bakers. The management of Paradise anticipated that there was a great potential for direct sales to homemakers through supermarkets. Over a period of several years, Paradise developed the now familiar transparent, reusable plastic containers found in almost every supermarket during the holiday season. In order to become more immediately responsive to its customers needs, the company invested in a facility to manufacture all of its packaging. This, combined with large inventories, enabled almost overnight filling and shipping of orders. During the same period, the company acquired, merged with, or was licensed by a number of competitors to become the leading marketer of 'glace' fruit products under labels that have been trusted and asked for by customers for generations. Given the increasing diversification, the name of the company was changed to Paradise, Inc. in 1993. Paradise remains an innovator in 'glace' fruit marketing, introducing in 2003 a new package design that incorporates recipes and a cash-redeemable coupon.
