MINIATURE GOLDEN FRUITCAKES
These tiny fruitcakes will bring joy to everyone on your list. We used dried apples, pears, apricots, and golden raisins, but you can also use dried cherries, cranberries, and regular raisins, or a mixture.

Steps:
- In a large nonreactive bowl, combine dried fruit, walnuts, and 1 1/4 cups brandy. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand 8 hours (or up to 1 day), stirring occasionally.
- In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs in 2 additions, scraping down bowl in between. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and spices. Reduce speed to low and beat in flour mixture in 2 additions, scraping down bowl in between. Fold fruit mixture into batter.

Firmly tap pans on counter to settle batter. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center of a cake comes out clean and edges are light golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes, rotating pans halfway through.
- Brush cakes with 1/2 cup brandy; transfer cakes to a wire rack to cool completely. (To store, cover and refrigerate, up to 1 month.) Brush with apricot jam before serving or packing.

THE BEST FRUITCAKE
Fruitcakes have become the punchline of many a holiday joke, but this recipe will give the notorious seasonal gift a whole new reputation. Filled with loads of real dried fruit and nuts along with brandy, warm spices and citrus, this cake tastes like the holidays. The recipe makes two loaves so you can gift one.

Steps:
- Combine the raisins, currants, apricots, figs, prunes, dates, walnuts, pecans, orange zest, lemon zest, candied ginger, pumpkin pie spice and cloves in a large bowl and toss to combine. Add 1 cup of the brandy, orange liqueur and molasses and stir to coat. Cover and set aside to macerate overnight. (Alternatively, cover the bowl and microwave 2 minutes, or until very hot. Leave covered and let sit until almost all the liquid has been absorbed into the fruit and nuts, about 2 hours.)
- Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F. Spray two 9-by-5-inch loaf pans with nonstick cooking spray and line each with 2 pieces of parchment, one lengthwise and one crosswise, leaving a 2-inch overhang on each side. Spray the parchment with cooking spray.
- Sprinkle 1/2 cup flour over the soaked fruit mixture and toss to coat. Whisk together the remaining 1 1/2 cups flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.
- Cream the butter and brown sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium-high until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Add the eggs, one at a time, making sure each is fully incorporated before adding the next and scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Beat in the vanilla. Reduce the speed to medium-low and beat in the flour mixture until the batter is blended and smooth. Pour the batter over the fruit mixture and fold with a rubber spatula until all the fruit is coated in batter.
- Divide the mixture evenly between the two prepared pans, filling each about 3/4 full. Bake until the cakes begin to pull away from the sides of the pans, the tops spring back slightly when pressed and a cake tester comes out clean, about 1 1/2 hours. Transfer to a wire rack and brush with the remaining 2 tablespoons brandy. Let the cakes cool in the pans for about 15 minutes. Carefully remove each cake from its pan using the parchment overhang and place on the rack to cool completely.
- To store, wrap each loaf tightly in plastic and then foil. The wrapped fruitcakes can be stored in a cool, dry place for up to 3 months.

GOLDEN FRUITCAKE **EXCELLENT
This fruitcake is so awesome! It is light in color not the dark kind that tastes weird. I have made this since 1986 and I always make at least a double-triple batch to give around the Holidays. My sister always asks for some. It freezes so well and keeps in freezer for months. *Tip- purchase aluminum foil pans See recipe for...

Steps:
- 1. Cut 1 cup dried apricots into small pieces; pour just enough boiling water over apricots to cover. Let stand for 20 minutes, then drain thoroughly.Combine snipped apricots with 2 cups chopped, candied pineapple; 2 cups golden raisins; 1 cup dark raisins, 1 cup candied cherries, halved; 1 cup chopped citron; 1 cup chopped, candied orange peel; 1/2 cup chopped, candied lemon peel; 2 cups coarsely chopped pecans, and 1 cup slivered, blanched almonds.
- 2. Cream 1 1/4 cups shortening, 1 1/2 cups honey, and 2 teaspoons rum extract or vanilla together thoroughly; beat in 6 eggs. Sift 2 1/2 cups sifted all purpose flour with 1 1/4 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves. Add to creamed mixture, mixing till smooth. Add fruit.
- 3. Turn fruitcake batter into greased pans lined with aluminum foil - either two 11x4x3 inch fruitcake pans and one 5 1/2x3x2 1/4 inch pan or one 10 inch tube springform pan and one 7 1/2x3 3/4x2 1/4 inch loaf pan. Bake at 275F degrees about 1 3/4 hours for small loaves, 2 hours for medium loaves, and 2 3/4 hours for tube pan. (Place shallow pan of hot water on bottom of oven.)
- 4. Cool cakes thoroughly, then remove them from pan. I use an injector to put brandy in cake. Be generous all over cake. The more, the better! Wrap tightly in brandy-soaked cloth and then foil. Store in cool place for several weeks. I start making cakes at the beginning to middle of October. That gives them lots of time to marinate and age in brandy. They are wonderful!

GOLDEN FRUITCAKE II
I can not take credit for this recipe. It is from a very talented chef and cooking instructor I know in Canada. She very graciously shared this recipe with me, and I absolutely love it. It's so mild tasting and so perfect with a cup of tea or hot cider in the winter.

Steps:
- Use a pair of scissors to chop the larger raisins and the apricots.
- Spraying the scissors with vegetable spray will prevent sticking.
- Soak the raisins, apricots, and citrus peel in the brandy or liqueur of choice overnight or for several days.
- Soaking the fruit makes the fruit plump and sticky but moist, sticky, glaced fruit is a must for fruitcakes.
- Before mixing, make sure all your ingredients are room temperature.
- Oven to 275 degrees F.
- Generously butter or spray with vegetable spray a 10" bundt pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar until pale.
- Add the cream, then the eggs, one at a time, mixing well and scraping down the sides of the bowl after each addition.
- It may appear curdled- that's okay.
- Blend 2 cups of the flour with the baking powder and slowly mix into the creamed mixture.
- Add the almond and vanilla extracts and mix to combine.
- Toss the fruit and nuts with the remaining 1/4 cup of flour.
- Use a large wooden spoon or a rubber spatula to fold in the floured fruit and nuts.
- Spoon the batter into the pan, filling 2/3 full, and spreading out even in the pan.
- Tap the pan on the counter to eliminate air bubbles in the batter.
- Place the cake in the center of the oven and bake for approximately 90 minutes.
- Use a skewer to test the thickest part of the cake.
- The skewer should be dry and clean- if it is sticky or tacky, the cake is not done.
- Remove the cake to a baking rack to cool.
- Cool just until warm, then brush the surface with the cornsyrup.
- Unmold the cake when completely cool.
- Brush with more apricot brandy, if desired.
- Wrap the cooled cake in plastic wrap and then in foil to retain moisture.
- It is ready to eat in 24 hours.
