I did end up using the bundt pan! After looking at the amount of batter, I figured I'd be safer on the cooking times with that!
Btw, it was DELISH! Thanks for the recipe and all the help!

I like to use a bundt pan. I think it's pretty that way. But you could use the standard loaf pans or cake pans and it would work just fine.

even without being concerned about the sugar this looks wonderful Sherrie...that combo of dried fruits instead of the sweet glace fruit is very appealng along with the spices.
what size pans do you use?

Low Sugar/Sugar Free Fruitcake?

Does anyone know of a way to make a Low Sugar or Sugar free fruitcake? My dad just adores fruitcake, but over the last 5 years, he hasnt been able to eat any due to his diabetes. Being the good daughter ::adjusts my halo:::, I was hoping to find something that was lower in sugar or as close to sugar free as possible that he could at least have a few slices of during the holidays.
