Dry Fruit Cake

[Biccylova]

We were given a fruit cake by a nieghbour, but we find its very dry, is there some way to moisten it without alcohol please?

[patsyann]

Maybe cut slices and pour custard on as a dessert .

[pastafreak]

Pierce the surface with a skewer and pour some fresh juice in...orange or pineapple?

[jourdain2]

As said, pierce surface (turn it over if top would spoil) and spoon over liberal amounts of preferred liquid. I'd use brandy, but once tried a mix of Tia Maria and brandy and it tasted good. :) Wrap in kitchen foil and leave to soak.

We've found that grandsons eat anything.

Put it out for the birds.

Into the washing machine (no soap) on a gentle cycle, run and see what develops.

[Helewel]

Eat it with some cheese Wensleydale for instance

[atalanta]

Cut slices and butter them

Put it in a tin with an apple - works wonders!

[Biccylova]

Thank you all, a few good ideas there to try, I do hate to waste anything, soaking some in fruit juice and putting it under custard sounds good, and I will try the apple in the tin with some of it as well as its rather a large cake. Happy new year to you all.
