A fruitcake from the Trappist monks for those who appreciate quality products, made from an old fashioned recipe, using choice fruits and nut meats in a brandy-laced batter.
These beautiful and delicious cakes are packaged in a reusable decorative tin. Each cake weighs 2 lbs 4 oz and is generously sized to feed family and friends.
This is the genuine fruitcake made by the monks at Holy Cross Abbey in Berryville, Virginia, and they think this will be the best fruitcake you have ever tasted - even as good as the one Grandmother used to make!

I just want to let you know that the orders I made on December 3 have all been received. The recipients are extremely pleased with the quality of the fruitcake they received --"so fresh and moist!" With this compliment, you can be assured that there will be a repeat order for next year as my family loves quality fruitcake. Thank you and Merry Christmas!
