Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with butter. Line with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides; butter paper, and set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour and salt; set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, heat brandy until simmering. Remove from heat, and stir in fruit; cool to room temperature. Toss brandied fruit with 1 cup flour mixture; set aside.
- Using an electric mixer, beat butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition; mix in vanilla. With mixer on low, add remaining flour mixture; mix just until combined. Fold in fruit mixture; transfer batter to prepared pan, and smooth top.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool in pan for 1 hour. Using paper overhang, lift out of pan; transfer to a wire rack to cool completely (still on paper). Invert fruitcake, and peel off paper; flip upright, and cut into 24 diamonds with a serrated knife. Dust with confectioners' sugar, if desired.

FRUITCAKE QUICK FIX BARS
Needed a quick way to have that holiday fruitcake taste without the long planning and preparing, with some ease in giving. Besides that, most people aren't afraid of a bar cookie the way people develop phobias about fruitcake, including me. These aren't too labor intensive, similar time it takes to make a batch of chocolate chip cookies. Recipe is original, a take on a variety of sources.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Line an 11x7 baking pan with aluminum foil and spray the foil with non-stick cooking spray.
- If necessary, dice any large slices of dried fruit. To a small saucepan, add the dried mixed fruit and dried cranberries, orange juice and rum or brandy. Bring to a simmer for about one minute and then take off heat, allowing to marinate for a few minutes while toasting the nuts. Drain well.
- Add the 1 tablespoon of butter to a saute pan to melt over medium heat, when melted, add nuts. Stirring frequently, toast the nuts until you can begin to smell them toasting and are hot to the touch and starting to brown. This takes usually not more than about five minutes in total, give or take based on your own experience with cooking times in your own kitchen.
- Cream the butter, sugar, brown sugar and honey until well mixed and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Continue to beat mixture until very light and fluffy, usually about two or three minutes with most mixers.
- Add spices, baking soda and salt, along with vanilla extract or vanilla bean seeds, blending until completely evenly distributed throughout. Add half of flour, mixing gently, until most of the flour has been blended inches Add second half of flour and blend until it is evenly blended. Fold in drained fruit and nuts, folding just until they are evenly distributed. Over mixing of flour into a cake batter can create a heavy and/or tough cake, due to the gluten in the flour developing.
- Spread the batter in the prepared pan and bake until golden brown and cake tester, such as a toothpick, comes out clean, about 35-45 minutes. Remove pan from oven and place on cooling rack.
- Mix powdered sugar, cream and liquer together until well blended, adding more cream, water or liquer, as needed, to make a thick glaze. When bars are cool, or almost cool if you are in a hurry, spread glaze across across top of bars. Garnish with decorative sprinkles, dried or candied fruit, candied citrus peel or flowers, or anything else that suits the occasion.
- Store in airtight container, after the glaze has set completely, best to separate layers with foil or waxed paper. These should last at least a week covered and are suitable for mailing and other transport, if packed to snugly.
