      1    Recipe
 
  (We replaced the *ugh* raisins with apricots or left
  them out all together) First: Get out an angel food
  cake pan or two loaf pans and
        line them with brown paper (clean grocery sacks
  are okay)
  
  Second:  Mix together, then beat vigorously for 2
  minutes:
  
        1    cup good cooking oil
        4    eggs
  1 1/2 cups brown sugar, firmly packed
  
  Third: Sift together:
  
        2    cups sifted flour
        1    teaspoon baking powder
        2    teaspoons salt
        2    teaspoons allspice
        1    teaspoon gound cloves
  
  Fourth: Stir the flour mixture into the egg mixture
  alternately with 1 cup juice, wine, brandy, or rum.
  
  Fifth: Mix 1 cup sifted flour into:
  
  1 cup sliced pineapple (special jars for fruit cakes)
  1 1/2 cups whole cherries (special for fruit cakes)
        1    cup dates
        1    cup apricots or raisins
  1 cup mixed fruit (special jars for fruit cakes)
        3    cups whole pecans
  
  Sixth: Pour the batter over the fruit mixture, mixing
  well. Pour batter into the lined pan(s). Place a pan
  of water on the lower rack of the oven. In a preheated
  275 degree oven, bake 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Let cool at
  least 15 minutes before removing paper. Then wrap cake
  in a cheese cloth and store in cool, dry place - such
  as a cake tin or tupperware.
  
  NOTE: For a "Drinking Age Fruitcake" - pour rum or
  branding over the cake(s) every few days. Requires 4
  quarts, or about 1 1/2 cups for each 1/2 pound of
  fruit cake.
  
  TIPS: Glaze will not stick to a fruit cake soaked with
  rum or brandy. If you don't want your fruitcake soaked
  with rum or brandy, then prepare a glaze of:
  
        2    tablespoons brown sugar
        1    tablespoon corn syrup
        2    tablespoons water
  
  Boil for 2 minutes, and then brush over the cake.
  Decorate the cake with fruit and nuts just before
  using.
  
  Suggestions: Make some Rum Sticks by slicing cake into
  "sticks" and soaking them with rum or brandy until
  they are nearly dripping!
