I have been making this for many years. I started making them in coffee cans and vegetable cans to give as gifts and to send for gifts they are real handy when needing to ship in the mail or Fed-Ex or by UPS. What is real nice about baking in the cans is when you slice them is that they fit in the toaster perfectly or on a party tray beautifully. I love the 3C bread more so because I am not a big fruit cake person. Sometimes I add spiced rum for that special touch.
