Apricot Fruitcake

 

 

Servings: 28

 

Ingredients:

1 cup dried apricots

1 cup water

3/4 cup butter

1 cup white sugar

4 eggs

1 cup golden raisins

1 pound red and green candied cherries

6 candied pineapple slices

1 pound candied mixed fruit

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup apricot nectar

1 cup chopped pecans

 

 

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C). Grease two 9 inch tube pans.

2. In a saucepan over medium heat cook apricots in the water until they are

mushy. Press them through a sieve and let them cool.

3. Separate the eggs. Beat the egg yolks until lemony colored. Then beat the egg

whites until stiff peaks are formed. Set aside.

4. Cream the butter or margarine and sugar together. Add the beaten egg yolks

and the apricots, and mix thoroughly.

5. Combine the raisins, candied cherries, candied pineapple, and mixed dried

fruits in a bowl coated with one cup of the flour.

6. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Add this flour mixture alternately

to the creamed mixture with the apricot juice. Blend this batter into the mixed

fruits. Add the chopped pecans or walnuts and fold in the beaten egg whites.

Turn the batter into the prepared pans.

7. Bake at 275 degrees F (135 degrees C) for 2 hours. Garnish cakes with candied

pineapples and cherries. Makes about 24 servings.
