Happy Holidays and Merry Good Cheer!

The most well known is the Great Fruitcake Toss at Manitou Springs, CO. A total scream.

According to the Rules of the Interwebs, you can’t post someone else’s entire recipe, just part with a link to the rest, unless you’ve changed the recipe up bigtime.
So hit the link, see the whole recipe and make it your own (I love dried blueberries and figs so I’m subbing them in for the cherries and pineapple). Then eat up!
