This fruitcake can be kept in the refrigerator for as long as 2 months. It actually develops flavor and is easier to cut after long storage, so make it ahead of the holidays. If you like, brush occasionally with brandy, rum or bourbon during storage to add a rich mellow flavor.
_ cups dried apricots (11 ounces)
_ cups pitted dates (12 ounces)
_ 1/2 cups nuts (8 ounces)
_ cup red and green candied pineapple chunks (7 ounces), chopped
_ cup red and green maraschino cherries (12 ounces), drained
___ cup all-purpose flour
___ cup sugar
___ teaspoon baking powder
___ teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
_ large eggs
Light corn syrup, if desired
1. Heat oven to 300°. Line loaf pan, 9 X 5 X 3 or 8 1/2 X 4 1/2 X 2 1/2 inches, with aluminum foil; grease foil with shortening.
2. Mix all ingredients except corn syrup. Spread in pan.
3. Bake about 1 hour 45 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. If necessary, cover with aluminum foil during last 30 minutes of baking to prevent excessive browning.
4. Remove fruitcake from pan (with foil) to wire rack. For a glossy top, immediately brush with light corn syrup. Allow loaves to cool completely and become firm before cutting, about 24 hours. Wrap tightly and store in refrigerator no longer than 2 months.
*If using self-rising flour, omit baking powder and salt.
