To keep cakes moist, it is suggested to add rum every other week to the cakes. Poke holes into the top of the cake with a toothpick, and slowly pour rum over the loaf until it is absorbed. Alternately, some folks begin soaking their fruits in rum months in advance so they reach their desired potency well before the holiday season.

Whatever you fancy, both methods will produce an enviable fruitcake for your family this Christmas season! Pair with egg nog for the kiddies, or rum popo for the adults.
