Jamaican Fruit Cake Is Ideal For The Holidays

By Betty Ward


Most people who love spicy foods may like Caribbean dishes that are rich with allspice, ginger, and maybe a hint of sweetness. There are a wide variety of dishes that will appease most palettes. From protein marinated in a blend of island spices to grains and vegetables that can be enjoyed as a side of main dish. However, most people who like this type of cuisine cannot get enough Jamaican fruit cake.

These days, fall and winter meals do not have to be heavy in consistency or loaded with starches that are hard to digest. There are many recipes out there that incorporate plenty of color, flavor, and some are easy on the waistline. Some meals are so nutrition that no one will feel ashamed about having seconds.

For those who are looking to make an impression on dinner guests, sometimes unusual dishes can be quite the conversation starter. However, for those who may not be acquainted with their kitchen, there are many places that will make and deliver these specialties to their home or office. There are many reputable operations that have high ratings online or may be recommended by others.

Another main reason why people like this dessert is its potency. Most recipes call for a combination of brandy, cooking wine, and dark or light rum to be used in different stages of baking this dessert. Some of this is used to infuse the dried fruit a day or so before baking. Some home bakers may reduce the alcoholic content or replace with a flavored extract so that it is suitable for younger audiences.

This type of cake is not as dense with dried fruit or nuts as the American version. The balance between cake and other ingredients is fairly even, although some home cooks may have their own spin. There are a few recipes that only call for crushed pineapple and walnuts, mostly due to its availability in most areas. Others may replace run and other spirits with a flavored extract if there are guests who do not consumer alcoholic beverages.

The great thing about this dessert is that many restaurants and bakers sell this every day of the year. So a person does not have to wait until the holidays to get a little taste of the islands. As more people are becoming acquainted with authentic Caribbean cuisine, they find desserts are the best way to wind down a good meal.

These can also be good resources for those who want to make the fruit cake and other entrees. Most supermarket chains carry cooking products that may hint at Caribbean flavor but often need enhancements like more pepper or cinnamon. Having access to the real thing is better than having to improvise in the kitchen.

For those who are watching their waistline during the holidays, having a small slice of cake should not hurt. Especially if holiday meals have few carbohydrates and plenty of protein or grains, which can be filling with just one serving. Whatever the method for preventing holiday weight gain, always make room for a little dessert.
