First, prepare the ingredients that you need such as 1 cup cubed canned pineapple,1 cup sugar and 2 tablespoons brandy. Mix all the ingredients in one gallon jar and let it stand for 2 weeks. After fourteen days, put the following to the mixture: 1 cup maraschino cherries (including juices), 1 cup sugar and 2 tablespoons brandy. Just stir daily and let it stand for another 2 weeks. After four weeks, add 1 cup sliced canned peaches (including juice) 1 cup sugar and 2 tablespoons brandy. Stir everyday for two weeks.
After two weeks, drain the mixture and set aside the liquid which can be used later. Don’t refrigerate the liquid portion. Pour 1 cup of the liquid in a large gallon with 2 1/2 cups sugar and 1 large (28 ounce) can sliced peaches. Mix thoroughly, cover with paper towel and keep for 10 days. Stir again everyday. Next, add 2 1/2 cups sugar and 1 (16 ounce) can crushed pineapple. Continue stirring daily and after 10 days, add 2 1/2 cups sugar and 1 (16 ounce) can of fruit cocktail. Slice a jar of maraschino cherries, add it to the mixture along with its juice. Stir every day for 10 days.
You can now bake but drain the fruit and divide into four parts equally. You would need 1 box of cake mix, 1 small box of instant pudding mix, 3/8 cup cooking oil, 4 eggs, 1 cup chopped nuts and the fruit you drained. Add to the cake mix the pudding, oil and eggs. Beat until smooth. Fold in the nuts and fruit in the batter. Pour batter into a greased tube pan and bake at 350 degrees for 50 to 60 minutes. Turn the cake in the rack while it’s hot. Let it cool and enjoy your brandied fruitcake.
