Answer:	Hi Ruth, as with all commodities price is always based on Supply, Demand, & the availability or Resources. Although you may be able to purchase them in store, for someone else their stores may not even sell them. Lastly why does a 2000 square foot home in New York cost 600k whilst the same home is 200k in Alabama?
Question:	How long does will this stay fresh? Could I order it now and have it be fresh at Xmas or shud a wait

For a variation, we pour a little bourbon over the top of a slice and let it absorb a bit. Talk about a slice of heaven...WOW. I love this recipe anytime I can get it.

An American brand is born

1930's

Jane Parker is a brand that has symbolized premium quality baked goods. For over 80 years all products were baked for and sold exclusively at over 16,000 A&P supermarkets across America.

A family holiday tradition

1940's - 1970's

Over the next 40 years and across multiple generations, Americans made Jane Parker products a part of their daily lives. During the holidays, a Jane Parker Fruit Cake was a family tradition.

Where did Jane Parker go?

1980's - 2016

Over time, A&P’s footprint across America declined, and as stores closed, Jane Parker products became harder to find. Eventually A&P filed for bankruptcy and the Jane Parker brand, products, and beloved fruit cake was thought to be gone forever.

Jane Parker returns!

2017 - Present

Two brothers, Chris & Alex Ronacher rescued the Jane Parker brand along with all the original recipes and begin baking the beloved fruit cakes again. To the delight of customers everywhere, Jane Parker is back, and the tradition continues!

Jane Parker Bourbon and Rum Fruit Cake

Initially started as a "limited edition", created in response to customer requests for a cake with a little "kick" to it.

Jane Parker Bourbon and Rum Fruit Cake

We began with the original classic fruit cake recipe, and baked it with the perfect blend of choice Bourbon & Caribbean Rum. Because of the popular demand, & the extremely positive customer response, it is now a permanent addition to the Jane Parker line.

Jane Parker Bourbon and Rum Fruit Cake

Filled with over 2/3 luscious fruits & nuts including: plump juicy raisins, glace red cherries, glace golden pineapple, & choice pecans.

Baked with pride in the USA.

Answer:	It’s:o delicious,the incrediants are patented

User questions & answers

Question:	Where to find prune turnovers
Answer:	This fruitcake is made in Claxton, Georgia.
Question:	Where can I find a list of the ingredients
Answer:	On the Internet their list of ingredients does show high fructose corn syrup and 36 gr of sugar per serving
Question:	What are the fruits in the fruit cake. ( especially the green
Answer:	Claxton says: "Regular” fruit cake recipe, a traditional favorite, may be more popular than our “Dark” variety; however, the “Dark” cakes contain the same high fruit-and-nut content. The difference lies in the molasses, spices and natural, sun-dried raisins which give the “Dark” cakes a slightly darker texture. Our “Regular” fruit cakes feature both golden and natural raisins and also contain imitation rum flavoring.
Question:	Does this product have high fructose corn syrup in it? We prefer to buy items with real cane sugar
Answer:	Unfortunately, most of Claxton's Fruit Cakes have nuts.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is it egg free
Answer:	Yes, they do but we do not carry it at this time. You will need to contact Claxton Baker directly in Claxton, Georgia. Please let us know if we can help you further! Kindest regards
Question:	Will this survive sea freight/shipping
Answer:	Hello Tim, We are sorry to hear that you found your fruitcake dry. You should be able to find a bakery code on the side of every fruitcake. Can you send that to us so we can investigate the batch. Customer Care, Gift Warehouse
Question:	Does it have green cherries
Answer:	They are supposed to be and have always been, 1 lb cakes, which would equal 5 cakes. (Also available @Amazon in a 2 cake (each 1 lb) pkg.) We find they are best if cooled first in the refigerator and that helps them to slice well. (Note the calorie count per 1/4 of the cake!) These are a tradition here and everything you would ask for in a fruit cake!
Question:	What is the "sell by" date for the Claxton Fruitcake
Answer:	Yes you can freeze and they are just as good, I have done many times.

Answer:	I'm not sure but it lasts a long time in the refrigerator--we have kept it in there for 6 months. If sea freight is a cold place, it would do fine I think.

Answer:	No. This is a rectangular shaped cake. The best fruit cake ever!
Question:	when you made fruit cakes for the Boy Scouts years ago, did they contain citron
Answer:	No, not at all. Dark fruitcake includes molasses and brown sugar which give it a different flavor and its charismatic dark color. Different fruit is often used in the dark recipe also.
Question:	Does this freeze well
Answer:	No... but if you like different flavorings...this Claxton Brand is the absolute best for adding your grandmother's bourbon recipe! I give a variety of bourbon fruitcakes all year round. (order bulk from Claxton in the summer months to have time to absorb for Christmas giving). Oh my...there is a heaven with these fruitcakes!
Question:	Do these fruitcakes contain citron
Answer:	No, this product is not egg-free. Eggs are used in the making of our fruit cakes.
