Mom's Fruitcake

"This is the fruitcake my mother made from the time I was a little girl. It isn't full of the citrus fruits, and I've never met anyone who didn't like it. Originally submitted to CakeRecipe.com. You can use fruit juice instead of the brandy, if you prefer."

Ingredients :

• 1 cup dried currants
• 2 cups raisins
• 1 cup candied cherries
• 1 ounce small gum drops, no licorice ones
• 2 cups pitted dates, cut in half
• 1 1/4 cups chopped walnuts
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon ground cloves
• 2 teaspoons ground allspice
• 1/4 cup brandy
• 1 cup apple jelly
• 2 cups boiling water
• 1 1/4 cups butter
• 3 cups white sugar
• 7 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions :

Prep :	Cook : 30M	Ready in :

• Pour boiling water over raisins and currants to cover. Let steam for 5 minutes, then drain. In a very large bowl combine currants, raisins, gum drops, candied cherries, pitted dates, jelly, spices, and brandy wine or fruit juice. Stir to blend. Cover and let stand overnight.
• Preheat oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C). Grease three 8x4 inch loaf pans.
