This year, the Sisters and volunteers mixed 1,700 pounds of batter and prepared about 960 fruitcakes. Their moist, old-world flavor is prized by many. Hand-mixed in July, using premium candied fruits, fresh nuts, and a little brandy, the cakes are glazed, wrapped, and kept in refrigeration until the fall. Then the baking team decorates, seals, and boxes them for shipment and sale. Taste the Sisters’ secret and give thanks for a holiday tradition rich in love and friendship!
Fruitcakes are made at the Motherhouse under the guidance of Sister Donna Marie. Our fruitcakes come in 2.0-lb and 1.0-lb packages.
