I had such a wonderful time judging fruitcake at the Port Gamble Country Christmas celebration this past Saturday. Of course, the fact that many of the entrants doused their fruitcakes with liquor might have had something to do with all the fun the judges had. To be honest, a couple of the fruitcakes required a chainsaw in order to be sliced, but overall, they were delicious . . . especially the one with Grand Marnier. We tasted in the neighborhood of 30 entries. I lost count after about the eighth or ninth taste test but, again, the liquor might have had something to do with that!
