GRANDMA LEACH'S FRUITCAKE
My grandmother and mother made these cakes for years. They are moist but don't contain eggs. Applesauce is the secret ingredient. I sold these at bake sales for years and we had many customers who returned every year just to get one.

GRANDMA'S BOILED FRUITCAKE
I am posting this for myself, as I only make this once a year - the recipe has often moved since I made it last (or I forgot where I put it). This recipe has been in our family for over 100 years (5 generations), it takes 2 days make and is rich and moist. As this fruit cake contains no alcohol it does not need time to "cure".

Steps:
- Day one.
- Mix the first 11 ingredients into a large heavy based pot, place over a medium heat. Stir and bring to the boil (don't leave it alone in case it burns at the base).
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, you can leave it alone for this part.
- Turn the heat off and add the orange juice, stir until well combined and leave overnight to soak. Place a lid over the top to stop moisture evaporating through the night.
- Day 2.
- In the cold pot with the pre-soaked fruit mixture add the remaining ingredients and stir well, be warned - you will need some serious elbow grease as the mixture will be very thick!
- In either 2 large and deep loaf tins or a deep 20x20cm grease and line the sides and base 4 times with brown paper (I use brown paper bags that I have sliced open). Have the paper create a rim that goes up and above the tin. For a square tin you will need around 8 paper bags.
- Place the cake mix into the prepared tin/s. Bang the cake tin on the floor about 10 times to get all the air bubbles out.
- Using a wet hand, smooth the cake to make it flat. At this stage you can choose to decorate the top with blanched almonds or not.
- Place into a cold oven, turn the oven up to 250 degrees F/150 degrees C for 3 1/2 - 4 hours for 1 large cake or 2 1/2 - 3 hours for 2 loaves. Rotate the cakes at least once during cooking - even it you have a fan forced oven. Cake is cooked when a skewer comes out clean.
- Cool in the tin, cake is best eaten the day after baking.
- Store in an airtight container for upto 5-7 days depending on your humidity.

NOT YOUR GRANDMOTHER'S FRUITCAKE
Fruit cake gets a bad rap. And normally, rightfully so. Most fruitcakes are best suited as doorstops, or substitutes for dumbbells. The only bicep curl you will do with this recipe is bringing another piece to your mouth. The combination of dried fruits, bourbon and spice results in a delectable cake that also makes a great holiday present.

Steps:
- FOR THE CAKE:.
- Heat oven to 350°F.
- In a medium pot, cook the dried fruits, bourbon and orange juice just until the fruits are plump - about four to five minutes. There will be some liquid left.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream the butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time. On low speed, add the dry ingredients and mix until combined. Add the orange juice bourbon and fruit mixture. Stir to combine.
- Pour batter into a bundt pan sprayed with non-stick spray. Bake at 350F for about 45 minutes until a tooth pick inserted into the cake comes out clean. Let cool.
- When cake is completely cooled, seal in an airtight container. Every two to three days, feel the cake and if dry, brush with more bourbon. Continue to baste for two weeks for maximum flavor, or eat whenever you want.
- FOR THE GLAZE:.
- Mix all glaze ingredients together and drizzle over the top of the cake.
- OPTIONAL:.
- Feel Free to use any and all dried fruits in this: chopped dried peaches, dried apples, dried pears, dates - if it's dried, it will work!
- For a chocolatey twist, add ¾ cup chopped semisweet chocolate to the batter.
- Get nutty: add pecans or hazelnuts to the batter or the top of the cake for a nutty, crunchy variation.
- Garnish the top of the cake in festive holiday style. Dried fruit slices, cinnamon sticks, red and green cherries are all seasonally appropriate.
- Traditionally, fruitcake is boozy, but feel free to use apple cider in place of the bourbon.
- I like to use a bundt pan for this but you can use a loaf pan, a 9-inch cake pan or even make fruit cake cupcakes!
GRANDMA LEONE'S FRUIT CAKE
Don't get this cake confused with the traditional fruit cake. It is so much more. This recipe has been handed down for 3 generations and I now want to share it with all of you. Don't get nervous with all the ingredients. Everything gets hand-mixed in 1 great big bowl.
