CHRISTMAS WHITE FRUIT CAKE
We live on the east coast of Canada in the maritimes. We have a strong Irish/Scottish/English background. This recipe is a family heirloom recipe, probably Irish in origin as it comes from my maternal grandmother who was first generation Canadian of Irish descent.

Steps:
- Stir some flour into fruit mixture so it doesn't stick together. I use a little (like a tablespoon from the 2 1/4 cups for the cake).
- Cream the butter, sugar and eggs.
- Mix together the dry ingredients and add to the creamed ingredients.
- Stir in the fruit and nuts (I usually omit the nuts) and add more fruit to make up the volume.
- Bake in a 300oF oven for an hour, but check the cake for doneness with a wooden tooth pick to make sure it is cooked.
- My mother's only directions are: bake at 300oF for a little longer than an hour and mix together like a cake.

Steps:
- Chop nuts and fruit in medium size pieces; dredge with 1/4 c. flour. Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs. Sift together remaining flour and baking powder; fold into butter - egg mixture. Stir in vanilla and lemon extracts. Blend in fruit and nuts. Grease a 10 inch tube pan. Line with parchment, waxed paper or foil; grease again. Pour batter into prepared pan or pans. Place in cold oven and bake at 250 degrees for 2 1/2 to 3 hours or 2 hours in 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch loaf pans. Check cakes 1 hour before done, again in 30 min. When done, remove from oven; cool in pans or cake rack. Makes 5 pounds of fruitcake. NOTE; In 4 1/2 x 2 1/2 x 1 1/2 inch baby loaf pans. bake for about 1 hr. For 1 pound cakes in 2 pound coffee cans, bake about 2 hours. In 5 ounce custard cups, the baking time is about 1 hr.. And in ungreased foil bonbon cups, baking time is about 30 min. When fruitcake time rolls around, she tosses out her can of baking powder and buys a fresh one. "You don't want to mess up the fruitcake because the baking powder isn't right," she cautions. She prefers loaf pans to tube pans. She likes 2 ounces each of vanilla and lemon extract. While the cakes are cooling on a wire rack, she uses a small paintbrush- reserved for fruitcake garnishing only - to slather on apricot brandy. After wrapping the cooled fruitcakes in 2 sheets of aluminum foil, she begins what she calls a "ripening" process. For the next 2 weeks, the cakes are basted in brandy and kept at room temp. Then into Frig for chilling and easier slicing.

Steps:
- Combine the raisins, currants, candied fruits, glazed fruits, candied pineapple, pecans and almonds with the bourbon and brandy in a large bowl. Refrigerate overnight, or if possible, for two days.
- Beat the butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, honey, one-third cup of all-purpose flour, grated lemon rind, almond and vanilla extracts until well blended. Beat in eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Sift together one cup of all-purpose flour, one cup of cake flour, salt, baking powder, nutmeg and cinnamon together. Add to the batter and beat until well mixed. Combine batter with the fruit and nut mixture, mixing well.
- Grease three 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-by-2 1/2-inch pans. Line the bottoms and sides with aluminum foil; grease the foil. Spoon the batter into the prepared pans, smoothing tops.
- Bake at 350 degrees for one hour or until the centers spring back when lightly pressed. If tops are browning too fast, cover lightly with buttered foil.
- While the cakes are baking, bring the apricot preserves to a hard boil and boil for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to reduce.
- Remove the cakes from the oven and while they are still hot, sprinkle with the rum. Then brush with the hot apricot jam.
- Mix enough bourbon with confectioners' sugar and butter to make a frosting that is thin enough to spread on top of the apricot jam while the cakes are still warm.
- Cool cakes in pans on wire rack. Allow frosting to dry. Remove cakes from pans; peel off foil. Cool completely. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate. Cake should be sliced chilled.
