Rich Fruit Cake:

This takes 2 days to make, so i will give you the ingredients  (the dried fruits) 
now for you to give them a swim overnight.
 


Mary uses this for Christmas, birthdays and all special occasions.
As It's nearly Guy Fawkes Day ( Penny for the Guy) We will start procedures on this cake.

What do we need:

175  gr. red or natural glacé cherries
350  gr. currants
225  gr. sultanas
225  gr. raisens
175  gr. chpped ready-to-eat dried apricots
  75  gr. finely chopped candied peel (which i could not find, so left it)
4 tablespoons  brandy, plus extra to feed the cake, because it's an alcoholic.


1. Cut the cherries into quarters, put in a sieve and rinse under running water. Drain well then dry thoroughly on kitchen paper(towel). Put the cherries, currants, sultanas, raisins, apricots and chopped candied peel into a large bowl. Stir in the Brandy, cover the bowl and leave in a cool place overnight to soak.
