Ingredients
- 100 grams Black Currants
- 100 grams Prunes
- 100 grams Dried Apricots
- 100 grams Figs
- 200 grams Mixed Peels
- 150 grams Dates
- 300 grams Sultanas (Raisins)
- 50 grams Candied Ginger
- ¼ cup Orange Marmalade
- 350-400 ml Cointreau, Rum, Brady, Whisky
Method
- Cut all the dry fruits into small pieces and place them in a bowl. Give them a stir to make sure the fruit gets well mixed.
- Transfer the mixed fruits to a glass jar and pour your preferred alcohol into it.
- Cover with an airtight lid and give the jar a shake to make sure the alcohol and the fruits get well mixed. Store at room temperature for about a week away from the sunlight in a dry place.
- Give the bottle a shake every other day to make sure all the fruits get a chance to absorb the alcohol.
- For best flavour and results, soak the fruit in alcohol for a minimum of a week before making the cake.
