Steps:
- Combine 2 cups sugar and 2 cups water in heavy medium saucepan. Stir over low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat and bring to boil. Cool syrup completely. Add 1 cup bourbon, peaches, raisins, pears and pineapple to syrup and toss. Let stand 2 hours at room temperature.
- Preheat oven to 300°F. Butter two 9x5x3-inch loaf pans. Line with parchment; butter parchment. Drain fruit thoroughly. Mix pistachios, coconut, almonds and 3/4 cup flour in large bowl. Add fruit mixture and toss. Mix remaining 3/4 cup flour, nutmeg, cinnamon, salt and baking soda in medium bowl. Whisk 6 tablespoons bourbon, buttermilk and orange juice in small bowl.
- Using electric mixer, cream butter, remaining 1 cup sugar and lemon peel in large bowl until fluffy. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in dry ingredients alternately with buttermilk mixture, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Fold in fruit mixture.
- Divide batter between prepared pans. Bake until toothpick inserted into centers comes out clean, about 1 1/2 hours. Cool cakes in pans on racks 15 minutes. Turn out cakes onto racks; peel off paper. Turn cakes right side up.
- Mix remaining 4 tablespoons bourbon with peach preserves in small bowl. Brush mixture over top and sides of warm cakes. Cool completely. Wrap tightly and store in cool dark place at least 2 days and up to 1 month.
