Cake fruit has been done in the days of ancient Rome in one form or another. At that time, was not called "fruit cake" to the Middle Ages, when people began to make fruit preserves, spices and honey responsible for the sweetness of the cake. When the American colonies became a source of low-cost sugar and rich in 16th century, the inhabitants of the colonies and in Europe found the fruit is kept for long, as preserved through a lot of sugar concentration sugar and water syrup. Therefore, excess production of canned fruits, it was created, in turn, made fruit preserves, inexpensive and made to cook the most famous fruit pies. Nuts have not been used largely in making fruitcakes until the 18th century, when Europeans begin adding nuts in the cake at harvest to ensure good luck and a good harvest the following year. Since then, dried fruit and nuts always go together in the making a fruit cake.
There are many special types of fruit pies and different ways to make recipes with them and that could quickly fill a very thick book! Fruit cake recipes vary widely, depending on what country they come from and the type of fruit that is available in that country.
