Just finished my holiday baking. My family loves my gum drop fruitcakes (no
citron or candied fruit in this recipe). After we found out my DH was
diabetic we quit making them. My son was commenting the other day how much
he used to like the gum drop fruitcakes. So, we decided we could make them
for the kids this year. Just made 5, enough for 2 for two son & daugher &
one for the other son. We won't keep any for us.

It was kinda fun to make them again. They're in the oven now & the kitchen
smells so good!

Even with a diabetic DH I still make chocolate christmas cake... 6
sitting waiting for marzipan and a chocolate topping! And I'm thinking
of making chocolate stollen this year.

I think managing diabetes must be so much harder for type 2's.
