Her fruitcakes were very decorative she would take time puting cherries and pecans on top before baking. We always joked with her because they weighed so much. Hope some one can help me with the old fashion recipe.

My mother in law’s fruit cake is made with pure cane syrup & simple syrup

My mom had a "white fruit cake" recipe. It just used regular sugar but did not contain any citrus at all. It is a very dense sweet fruit cake containing candied cherries and pineapple, crushed pineapple, white raisins, walnuts. Maybe if you described your mom's fruit cake in more detail, someone might have a similiar one?

The O.P. was from 2012.
