Justice Fruitcake

Justice Family Fruitcake

5 cups of fruit*
3 cups of nuts*

3/4 cup flour
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. vanilla
3 eggs, beaten

Coat fruit and nuts with the dry ingredients. Add the wet ingredients and mix well (you may want to use your hands to mix).

Put into a 9 inch springform pan that has been lined with well buttered parchment paper.

Bake at 300 for 90 minutes. Cool 15 minutes before cutting.

If your fruit wasn't aged first then you may want to let the cake age for a week or two.
To age with wine: wrap in a towel that has been wetted down with wine. Place in a bag and store in a cool place.

*These are my fruit and nut portions but you can use whatever you have on hand:

1 cup dates

1 cup coconut

1 cup raisins

2 cups candied pineapple and cherries

2 cups pecans, lightly chopped

1 cup almond slivers
