Fruitcake always looked so festive to me but I did not like the hard citron fruit so I came up with my own recipe using dried fruits and nuts. I place these in Christmas themed petit fours paper cups and give them to neighbors and friends along with the many other cookies and candies I bake. These keep well in the freezer in an airtight container. Just thaw to room temperature and they taste fresh baked and moist.
Ingredient:
- 6 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons margarine
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup finely chopped dried apricots
- 1/2 cup finely chopped dates
- 1/2 cup finely chopped green candied cherries
- 1/2 cup finely chopped red candied cherries
- 3/4 cup finely chopped candied pineapple
- 1/4 cup raisins
- 1/4 cup golden raisins
- 1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts
