How To Make jeans fruitcake

  • Step 1
    Grease and flour three mini bread pans. Preheat oven to 350°
  • Step 2
    Put dates in a bowl with soda. Pour boiling water on top and set aside.
  • Step 3
    In a large mixing bowl, mix together the sugar and flour. Add eggs, vanilla, allspice, nutmeg, cinnamon and molasses. Mix to combine.
  • Step 4
    Stir in date mixture.
  • Step 5
    Fold in walnuts, raisins and candied fruit. Mix well.
  • Step 6
    Pour in prepared pans. Bake until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
  • Step 7
    Let cool in pan about 10 minutes. Then carefully run knife around edges. Let cool completely on cooling rack
  • Step 8
    After letting cool for about 2 hours, I take 3 separate cloths big enough to wrap each loaf - then soak in Manischewitz. Wrap each completely in foil and store in plastic bag.
  • Step 9
    Wait about 3 days, so the wine will soak in. Enjoy! Store Fruitcake in Refrigerator. You may need to resoak in about a week.
