HOLIDAY BOURBON FRUITCAKE
Moist and tasty fruitcake is made with all types of candied fruit and nuts with a hint of orange and more than a hint of bourbon. It takes about three days to complete the process, but it is well worth the time and effort!

Steps:
- On the first day, combine the candied orange peel, candied citron, candied pineapple, red and green candied cherries, currants, raisins, walnuts, and almonds. Combine the orange juice and the 2/3 cup bourbon; pour over the fruit and nuts. Stir and then cover tightly. Let the fruit marinate in a cool place for 1 full day, or at least 20 hours.
- On the second day, line two 9x5 inch loaf pans with parchment paper or aluminum foil and grease the inside with cooking spray. Combine the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, allspice, ginger, cocoa, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl and stir with a whisk to blend.
- In a separate large bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until light and fluffy using an electric mixer. Stir in the egg yolks until blended and then mix in the applesauce, the 1/2 cup bourbon, and vanilla until fluffy. Continue stirring, and add the the flour mixture gradually until well combined. Add the molasses and stir to combine. When the batter is thoroughly mixed, gently mix in the fruit and nut mixture with all of its juices.
- In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites with an electric mixer until they can hold a stiff peak. Fold egg whites into the batter. Divide evenly between the prepared pans. Cover loosely with a towel and let the batter stand overnight in a cool, dry place.
- On the third day, preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Place a large baking pan on the bottom shelf and pour boiling water into it until almost full. Place a baking sheet on the center shelf and place the fruit cakes on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 2 1/2 hours in the preheated oven. Check the water level and refill if needed. Cover the cakes with a sheet of parchment paper, taking care not to let it touch the shelf. Continue to bake until a knife or toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour more. Cool fruitcakes in the pans, set over a wire rack. Once cool, remove the cakes from the pans, and leave the parchment paper on. Sprinkle with more bourbon if desired and wrap in aluminum foil. Place in a tin or other sealed container overnight before serving.

BLACK BOURBON FRUITCAKE
If you like fruitcake, you will really like this one. A co-worker at my husband's office said this is the best she's ever had. I got it from a magazine back in the 80's and again found it posted on the internet by Cheri Hahn, Rocky River. There were so many fruitcake recipes on Recipezaar I hope this isn't a duplicate.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Spray two loaf pans. (The internet recipe specified lining the bottoms of the pans with waxed paper and grease the paper. I did not.) Sift together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, allspice, salt and nutmeg onto a piece of waxed paper. Set aside. Beat together butter and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, flour mixture, molasses, coffee and bourbon. Fold in raisins, red cherries, green cherries, citron, dates, orange peel, lemon peel and pecan pieces. Divide batter evenly between the two pans. Bake on the center rack of your oven for 2 to 2 1/2 hours or until cake tester inserted comes out clean. Remove cakes from pans to wire rack to cool. For the topping, melt the jelly. Brush with jelly and arrange pecan and cherry halves on tops. Wrap carefully in triple layer of cheesecloth soaked in bourbon. Seal tightly with foil. Refrigerate.
- Note: I do not have my clipping that I originally used. That's why I went to the internet to find it. The internet recipe calls for different amounts of the candied fruits and the amount of jelly, so you might want to look it up to compare. Also I did not mix in the bourbon when I made it, nor did I soak it with bourbon. It is still good, but be sure to refrigerate.
- I do not remember how long it took to make this.

I made these for Christmas gifts, even though I don't normally like fruitcake... but even I like this one! Prep time does not include soaking and curing time.

Steps:
- Relative amounts of dried and candied fruit can be varied, but the total amount of fruit should be about 5 cups.
- Additional fruit and nuts can be added if you like lots in your fruitcake.
- Chop fruit as necessary.
- Halve the green and red candied cherries, and very coarsely chop apricots and dried pineapple.
- Very coarsely chop pecans.
- Place fruit and nuts in a large bowl, and toss well with the 1/2 cup all-purpose flour.
- Cream softened butter and sugar, using an electric mixer, until well combined.
- Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition, and set aside.
- Sift all dry ingredients, and stir until well combined.
- Stir 1/3 cup bourbon into milk in measuring cup.
- Using an electric mixer, alternately, add flour mixture and milk mixture to the creamed butter, starting and ending with flour, mixing to combine well after each addition.
- When thoroughly combined, toss flour coated fruit and nuts again, and fold into batter using a large wooden spoon or spatula.
- Place rack in middle of oven with second rack below, place a cookie sheet on the lower rack to shield loaf pans from heat.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Grease 5-6 mini-loaf pans (3"x5½x2") loaf pans or a 10" tube pan (preferably with a removable bottom), and line with greased wax paper.
- If using mini-loaf pans just press 5 or 5½ wide pieces crosswise in pans; dont worry about the pan ends.
- Fill pans just to the top or a little below with batter, dividing evenly.
- Fruitcakes will rise just a little above the top a little during baking, but they wont overflow.
- If using mini-loaf pans, bake for about 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted in the center of each loaf comes out clean, If using a tube pan, bake for about 1-1/2 hours or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Pans should be shuffled about and turned after half of baking time has passed to ensure that fruitcake (s) bake evenly.
- When done, remove fruitcakes from oven, and set on cooling racks to cool for 10 minutes.
- Turn fruitcakes out of pans, peel off wax paper, and set on cooling racks for another 10 minutes.
- Brush loaves generously with dry sherry, and return to racks to cool completely.
- Allow to set overnight, covered, for sherry to soak in to loaves.
- Cut cheesecloth into pieces large enough wrap each loaf in a double or triple layer, and soak cheesecloth pieces in 1/2 cup bourbon.
- Wrap loaves in the cheesecloth, and sprinkle any remaining bourbon on top.
- Wrap in foil, and set in a cool place to age for 1 week.
- Carefully peel back foil, and brush or spray each loaf with remaining 1/2 cup bourbon.
- Replace foil, and allow loaves to age 1 more week before eating or giving as gifts.
- This brushing and aging process can be repeated several more times if desired, assuming that you started well before Christmas.
- This recipe can easily be doubled if your oven is large enough to handle all the pans.

Add the egg yolks one at a time, mixing well between additions. Add the dry ingredients in four batches, alternating with the wet mixture, starting and ending with the dry. Stir in the pecans.
- In a stand mixer with a whisk attachment and a clean bowl, whip the egg whites with the cream of tartar on medium until soft peaks form. Sprinkle in the remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar and whip to stiff peaks, about 5 minutes total. Fold the egg whites into the batter in thirds.

KENTUCKY BOURBON CAKE
Fruit cake soaked in whiskey. Should be made a month in advance, if you can wait that long (I can't!). You'll need some cheesecloth for giving this cake its trademark bourbon wrap.
