FREE RANGE FRUITCAKE
Steps:
- Combine dried fruits, candied ginger and both zests. Add rum and macerate overnight, or microwave for 5 minutes to re-hydrate fruit.
- Place fruit and liquid in a non-reactive pot with the sugar, butter, apple juice and spices. Bring mixture to a boil stirring often, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and cool for at least 15 minutes. (Batter can be completed up to this point, then covered and refrigerated for up to 2 days. Bring to room temperature before completing cake.)
- Heat oven to 325 degrees.
- Combine dry ingredients and sift into fruit mixture. Quickly bring batter together with a large wooden spoon, then stir in eggs one at a time until completely integrated, then fold in nuts. Spoon into a 10-inch non-stick loaf pan and bake for 1 hour. Check for doneness by inserting toothpick into the middle of the cake. If it comes out clean, it's done. If not, bake another 10 minutes, and check again.
- Remove cake from oven and place on cooling rack or trivet. Baste or spritz top with brandy and allow to cool completely before turning out from pan.
- When cake is completely cooled, seal in a tight sealing, food safe container. Every 2 to 3 days, feel the cake and if dry, spritz with brandy. The cake's flavor will enhance considerably over the next two weeks. If you decide to give the cake as a gift, be sure to tell the recipient that they are very lucky indeed.
FRUITCAKE, MY TAKE ON ALTON BROWN'S
I have never liked fruitcake but saw this the other day and decided I might try it. My main complaint about fruit cake is the radioactive candied fruits used in them. This one uses naturally dried fruits. I made a few changes. I didn't want to use apricots so I used dried pineapple instead and couldn't find currents so I used regular raisins instead. Update. I tasted the fruit cake. Really delicious. Soft and moist, loaded with fruit. I'm glad I used the pineapple rather than the apricots. Also one note I wish that I had added more pecans.

Steps:
- You should have 4 cups of fruit by the time you add in all the dried fruits. I went on and put in a stainless steel sauce pan and stirred in the rum. sealed with a piece of Press and Seal to keep the alcohol from evaporating. Stirring occasionally to keep all the fruit wet. leave over night
- Preheat oven to 325 f. The next day add the "Next Day" ingredients and bring up to a boil then turn down to a simmer for 15 minutes. Let cool to room temp before mixing in with the dry ingredients.
- Add dry ingredients to a large mixing bowl and stir in quickly all the fruit mixture. Blend well then add the eggs one at a time incorporating in really good. Add the nuts and stir well.
- Spoon into a 10 inch non-stick loaf pan and bak for one hour. The tooth pick test: if it's not clean bake another 10 minutes I used 6 inch paper crumb cake cups that I got from Amazon. It made 11 of those putting in 2 ice cream scoops of batter in each one. Cooked them for 40 minutes give or take. cool on a rack. then baste with brandy, When it is completely cool wrap tightly and spritz every couple of days with the brandy over the course of about 2 weeks. This size is great for gifting.

- At least a day before, soak the raisins, the rest of the dried fruit, the crystallized ginger and the zests in golden rum. You can do this in a zip top bag if you want. Shake the bag occasionally.
- When you're ready to bake, preheat the oven to 325F and then dump the contents of the zip top bag, including any liquid, into a 3 1/2 quart sauce pan (or similar size. Don't go buy a new pan).
- Add the sugar, butter, juice, and spices (The Beloved grinds the cloves, allspice, pepper and salt together with a mortar and pestle. He wanted me to tell you that) and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down and simmer for 10 minutes.
