Time 1h30m

Yield Makes 1 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
Coarse salt
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup apricot jam
2 large eggs
1 cup ricotta cheese or 3/4 cup whole milk
1 cup pecans or almonds, toasted and ground
1 cup coarsely chopped dried apricots (5 ounces)
3/4 cup chopped dried cranberries or cherries (5 ounces)
1/2 cup honey
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Pinch of salt
Garnish: dried apricots, cranberries, or cherries

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  • Beat butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. Beat in honey and jam, and then eggs. Add flour mixture, and beat, alternating with ricotta. Beat in nuts and dried fruit.
  • Press a square of parchment into each cup of a standard muffin tin to create a liner (you can also use baking cups). Divide batter evenly among liners. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Transfer tin to a wire rack. Let stand for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the honey glaze: Bring honey to a boil in a saucepan, and cook for 3 minutes. Stir in lemon juice and salt.
  • Brush fruitcakes with glaze, and garnish with dried fruit. Brush again with glaze. Remove from pans. Let cool. Serve fruitcakes with Mixed Citrus Sauce.
