PREPPING THE FRUITS
1 LB GLAZE CHERRIES
1 LB CURRANTS
1 LB RAISINS
1 LB PRUNES
1 LB DATES ( IF YOU CAN FIND THE CHOPPED ONES, IF NOT JUST MIX THEN IN THE BLENDER)
1/2 LB MIXED PEEL/ DRIED CITRUS FRUITS
BARBADOS “MOUNT GAY RUM” 2 1/2 - 3 CUPS (IF YOU LIKE TO TASTE A LOT OF RUM IN THE CAKE)
“ FALERNUM 2 - 2 1/2 CUPS (START WITH 2 CUPS AND IF YOU THINK YOU NEED MORE YOU CAN ADD A LITTLE)
PORT WINE 2 - 2 1/2 CUPS “ “ “ “ “ “ “ “
PUT ALL THE FRUITS IN A LARGE CONTAINER AND MIX WELL; PUT A THIRD OF THE FRUIT MIX IN A HIGH POWERED BLENDER AND ADD A THIRD OF EACH OF THE LIQUIDS, COVER THE BLENDER AND MIX UNTIL THE MIXTURE IS WELL BLENDED TO THE RIGHT CONSISTENCY AND REPEAT WITH THE REMAINDER OF THE FRUIT MIXTURE.
POUR THE BLENDED MIXTURE INTO A LARGE AIR TIGHT GLASS JAR AND SEAL. THIS CAN BE STORED IN A COOL DARK PLACE FOR UP TO ONE YEAR. THE LONGER IT SITS THE MORE POTENT IT WILL BE.
P.S.
IT IS BEST TO USE A “ GOOD EFFICIENT BLENDER “ OTHERWISE YOU CAN SOAK THE FRUITS OVERNIGHT BEFORE BLENDING.
