Ralph's Fruitcake
Ralph'S Fruitcake is an impressive dinner. Made with 12 c. dried fruit (seedless raisins, both gold and brown, dates, black figs, dried apricots, dried apples, candied red and green cherries, dried peaches, prunes, candied pineapple), 8 c. english walnuts and pecans, 2 tbsp. grated orange rind, 4 tsp. spices (cinnamon, cloves, allspice, ginger) and 2 c. honey, this recipe delivers authentic, satisfying flavors. Great for entertaining guests or a cozy night in.
