ENGLISH FRUITCAKE
This recipe was sent to me by a friend that was born and raised in England. It has been in her family for generations. Though this year will be the first year I try it, she did send me some and I have to say it was one of best tasting fruitcakes I've ever eaten. Enjoy

Steps:
- 1. Soak currants in sherry for 2 days.
- 2. Sift together flour, ground almond and spices.
- 3. Cream butter and sugar then add honey and mix.
- 4. Add 1 egg at a time alternating with flour mixture. When well mixed, add all fruit and apple.
- 5. Put into a 9" round or 8" square pan, 3" deep, lined with parchment paper.
- 6. Put cake in a preheated oven of 130 degrees for 1 1/2 hours. Turn oven down to 120 degrees and bake for another 4 1/2 hours. She noted this is her time but my oven may be different.
- 7. When cooked, leave in pan till cake is cold.
- 8. Remove cake from pan, and leave in parchment paper. Pierce top with a skewer and pour brandy over cake and wrap in foil.
- 9. Cake will mature in one month. Brandy may be added once a week during the fermenting time.
- 10. NOTE: having several friends from England, I know that they cook according to weight. Thus the reason for the directions for the eggs being the same weight as the butter. So until I make this myself, I do not know how many eggs that would be.
