And the traditional (and somewhat expensive to buy and make) fruitcakes are really quite good. Maybe it is an aversion to candied fruit that deters some folks. I remember a recipe for "fruitcake" cookies in the old Betty Crocker "Cookies" classic cookbook that required citron and other fruitcake ingredients. They were good so, I never had the deterrence to those "supposed doorsteps".
