My beloved grandmother used to make this fantastic colorful fruitcake for Christmas. We can't find the recipe . So I am experimenting and trying to recall what she did. I used a range of dried fruits like plums, apricots, figs, rasins, cherries, orange peel, dates. I soaked them in rum over night, but I think coniac would have been better. I then made a cake mix and put in the oven for 1.5 hr. The cake turned out great but it wasn't like hers. Enjoy thin slices since the taste is very powerful and rich.
