Minx Fruitcake

• 1.5 cups assorted dried fruits (chopped apricots or figs, cherries, pineapple, blueberries, raisins, candied ginger, cranberries, etc.)
• 1/2 cup rum
• 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
• 1 cup whole berry cranberry sauce
• 1/3 cup plain yogurt
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• 1 egg
• 2 1/4 cups flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon cardamom
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/2 cup chopped candied orange rind
• 1/4 cup green or red fruitcake cherries (optional)
• 1 cup assorted roasted unsalted nuts (cashews, almonds, pecans, walnuts, brazil nuts, filberts)
• booze

1. Put dried fruit in a microwave-safe bowl and pour over the rum. Stir well, cover with plastic wrap, and nuke on high for 5 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside to cool
2. Preheat oven to 350F. Spray a loaf pan with release spray and set aside. Combine the first five ingredients in the bowl of a mixer (or use a hand mixer) and mix until thoroughly combined. Stir in the flour, baking powder, and spices. Add the macerated fruit (plus the rum) and nuts. Pour into greased loaf pan. Bake 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
3. With the fruitcake still in the loaf pan, poke holes in it with a toothpick. Pour over about 1/4 cup booze of your choice (rum is nice). Allow to soak in. Add another 1/4 cup or so after the cake has cooled a bit. When cake is completely cool, remove from loaf pans and wrap tightly in foil.
