Fruitcake

[dsrtao]

We had a nice slice of fruitcake last night.

I made the fruitcake on December 25th, so it has lasted 7 weeks. There are about two slices left. Still really good. Opening the container releases alcohol fumes sufficient to start a buzz.

I shall make this again next winter.

recipe please?

Alton Brown's recipe; doubled; in a tube cake pan (separate walls and bottom).

High quality dried fruit, no raisins.

I candied my own citrus: clementine, cara-cara and grapefruit peel.

Booze was rum, Amaretto, brandy, and triple-sec. Probably some Madeira.
