When a fruitcake contains a good deal of alcohol, it can remain edible for many years. For example, a fruitcake baked in 1878 was kept as an heirloom by a family (Morgan L. Ford) in Tecumseh, Michigan.[12] In 2003 it was sampled by Jay Leno on The Tonight Show.[13] Wrapping the cake in alcohol-soaked linen before storing is one method of lengthening its shelf life.[14]
A 106-year-old fruitcake discovered in 2017 by the Antarctic Heritage Trust was described as in "excellent condition" and "almost" edible.*
