Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 275 degrees F.
  2. Coarsely chop fruit, orange and lemon peel, ginger, and walnuts, then soak overnight in Southern Comfort.
  3. In a very large bowl (a very big KitchenAid mixer works well) beat together the butter, brown sugar, and golden syrup, then beat in the eggs one at a time.
  4. Add in flour, spices, and fruit-nut mixture.
  5. Put in a greased 10-inch square pan or put in greased mini loaf pans; do not fill pans more than 2/3 full.
  6. If using one pan, set it in a water bath to bake, but a water bath is not necessary for mini-loaves; bake at 275 degrees F for 3-4 hours (1-2 hours for mini loaves).
  7. Cakes are done when a toothpick inserted comes out clean and dry.
  8. Optional: soak finished fruitcake (s), wrapped in cheesecloth, in additional Southern Comfort.
  9. Optional (preferred): let loaves cure for about 30 days in an airtight container in a cool place.
  10. Makes about 25-30 mini loaves or 3 to 4 full sized loaves.
