Another Christmas is approaching, soon to be here
Sharing a delicious treat, makes one’s mission clear
Chef Benson’s “Old Home Classic” has been baked
Running to the local grocery, to find one to take
Christmas fruit cakes fill a shopping cart
Making each shopper feel clever and smart
Each cake is guaranteed to surprise and please
Weighing a full pound, taste buds will be teased
Each fruit cake is prepared with home-baked care
Allowing many, many others to send one to share
The highest quality ingredients go into each slice
Bringing a rich sweetness that will very likely entice
The special recipe includes ingredients plus yummy fruit
Filled with golden raisins, cherries, and pineapple to suit
Pecan and walnut pieces add much to the flavor
Tasting this delicious cake is something to savor
Each serving is filled with additional nutrition so great
Adding high fructose corn syrup, hunger meets its fate
Benson’s special fruit cake makes a great gift each year
Sending to all of one’s family and friends far and near
Each package comes without any expiration date
Re-gifting this cake to someone else may be its fate
This delectable fruit cake is just waiting for someone to taste!
I remember quite fondly those wonderful fruitcakes. I would break the slices into smaller pieces, eat all of the nuts, then the cake parts, then separate out the raisins and candied fruit. I would eat the cherry pieces last of all! Thanks for bringing to mind those wonderful memories! (Though I know a good number of people hate fruitcakes, not me!)

I am sending some fruit cakes to my daughters. Let’s hope that they don’t regift them back to me.

Delicious! A family friend makes her own Christmas fruit cakes and likes to try different ingredients. I’ve just taste-tested one with chopped ginger in it. Not bad but not traditional either…
