Jamaican Fruit Cake

It is quite dense, but it is sweet without being cloying. We can cure almost like a candy shell. It was on a piece of fruitcake Jamaican coworker me at a wedding. It was delicious, and now I'm obsessed with trying to do.

Royal Icing.

Beat 2 egg whites until stiff. Add 1 pound confectioners sugar, a little at a time at low speed. Add the lemon juice and continue beating until stiff peaks form. Add a few drops of food coloring if desired.

Do not let the icing used unattended. If you have to stop while icing the cake, make sure the ice is covered with a damp paper towel and cool. This hardening icing and dries quickly. A second layer of ice can be applied when the first is dry.
