1/2 lb dates, chopped
1 lb glace pineapple rings, sliced into strips

1 orange, juice and rind of
1 lemon, juice and rind of
1/2 cup rum (light or dark, depending on the flavour you prefer)

4 cups all-purpose flour, unsifted
1 cup coffee, strong, cold

Steps:

  • Day One -Wash and scald raisins to plump.
  • Drain and dry well.
  • Place all fruit and almonds into a large bowl.
  • Sprinkle spices over fruit and add the lemon and orange rind and juice. Stir in the rum and let stand overnight, stirring occasionally.

  • Remove from pans and peel off paper.
