27 ounces none such classic original mincemeat
1 (14 ounce) sweetened condensed milk (NOT evaporated)
3 large eggs, slightly beaten
1 (16 ounce) candied cherries (1-8 oz. red and 1-8 oz. green each)
1 (16 ounce) candied pineapple

  • Spoon batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake approximately 1 hour 20 minutes or until test in middle of cake comes out clean. (I cook to 1 hour 10 minutes then start testing every 10 minutes until cake tests for doneness. If it's over baked it will be dry, otherwise the cake will come out perfectly moist. Be diligent with your testing.).

Tips:

  • Choose the right fruit. Use a variety of dried fruits that are naturally sweet, such as raisins, cranberries, cherries, and apricots.
  • Soak the fruit in liquid. This will help to plump them up and make them more flavorful. You can use water, fruit juice, or even rum.
  • Use a combination of nuts and seeds. This will add texture and flavor to the fruitcake. Some good options include walnuts, pecans, almonds, and sunflower seeds.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the fruitcake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the fruitcake in a slow oven. This will help to prevent it from drying out. Bake the fruitcake at 250 degrees Fahrenheit for 2 to 3 hours.
