Free Range Fruitcake, This recipe is from Alton Brown; it comes from www foodnetwork com , I make this every year It is so delicious Everyone likes it even if they don’t like fruitcake!, This is not your Granny’s fruitcake It is delicious I did make a few changes used Grand Marnier instead of rum to macerate the fruit and also to spray on the cake I could not find dried blueberries or currants, so used mango and pineapple, and just increased the other fruits to make 4 cups Fantastic recipe!!!!
