Steps:
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Sift together flour and salt into a medium bowl. Beat butter with a mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes, scraping down sides of bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. Add sugar gradually, beating between additions; continue to beat until mixture is very pale, about 2 minutes total. Reduce speed to low, and add flour mixture; beat until just combined.
- Combine apricots, cranberries, candied citron, currants, and whiskey or brandy in a bowl. Let dried fruit macerate at least 2 hours and up to 8 hours; drain.
- Add lemon zest to the butter with the sugar. After beating in the flour, mix in drained fruit. Form dough into a 10 1/2-inch log, then a triangle with 2 1/2-inch sides. (Refrigerate dough briefly if too soft to form.) Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour; cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices.
- Bake on parchment-lined baking sheets until firm and just golden on edges, about 35 minutes.

Steps:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, confectioners sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Add flour and mix until the flour is incorporated and the shortbread dough has a crumbly appearance.
- Mix in the mixed peel or fruitcake blend until evenly distributed in your shortbread dough.
- Transfer the fruitcake shortbread dough to a sheet of parchment paper or plastic cling film wrap and gather the loose dough into a rough log shape.
- Wrap the paper around the log shape tightly and use it to help roll the log out into your desired length and width. Unwrap and re-wrap tightly. Transfer to your refrigerator to chill for about 30 minutes.
- Once the dough is firm to the touch, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F ( 175 degrees C ). Remove the dough from the refrigerator and slice using a sharp knife ( to cut through the fruit easily ). Slices should be approximately 1/4 inch in thickness.
- Transfer slices to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees F ( 175 degrees C ) for 10-12 minutes. The cookies are done when the center is slightly puffy. You should also be able to note the difference when the center no longer looks raw.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet placed on a wire cooling rack. *Shortbread cookies are tender and prone to falling apart while still warm!

Steps:
- Snip off the hard stems of the figs with scissors or a small knife and coarsely chop the figs. In a medium bowl, combine the figs, raisins, cherries, apricots, honey, sherry, lemon juice, pecans, and a pinch of salt. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to sit overnight at room temperature.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter, cloves, superfine sugar, and brown sugar on medium speed until smooth, about 3 minutes. With the mixer on low speed, add the egg and mix until incorporated. With the mixer still on low, slowly add the flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt just until combined. Don't over mix! Add the fruits and nuts, including any liquid in the bowl.
- Divide the dough in half and place each half on the long edge of a 12 by 18-inch piece of parchment or waxed paper. Roll each half into a log, 1 1/2 to 1 3/4-inch thick, making an 18-inch-long roll. Refrigerate the dough for several hours, or until firm.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- With a small, sharp knife, cut the logs into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Place the slices 1/2-inch apart on ungreased sheet pans and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until lightly golden.

- Cream the butter and sugar together until wll combined and light and fluffy, scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Beat in the extract.
- Slowly add in the flour with the mixer on low, until the dough comes together, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary. If your dough is extremely dry you can add a little milk, a teaspoon at a time, to bring it together. Note: don't be tempted to add too much milk, the dough should come together fine as long as your butter is soft.
- Add the fruit to the bowl and continue to mix until the fruit is incorporated. You can use your hands for the last part if you like.
- Turn the dough out onto a sheet of parchment paper or plastic wrap and form it into a log, about 9 or 10 inches long. Wrap it in the plastic and smooth it into a uniform smooth round shape, twisting the ends tightly to secure. Chill for at least 2 hours, or overnight.Tip: I like to wrap the log in a thick towel so that as it chills to keeps a perfectly round shape.
