Pecan, Apricot, Date, and Cherry Fruitcake

Advertisement

This is not your ordinary fruitcake! Packed with pecans, dried apricots, sweet dates, and vibrant maraschino cherries, this recipe skips the citron and mixed fruit often found in traditional versions. Passed down from my husband’s cousin, this simple yet elegant fruitcake is my absolute favorite—and I hope it becomes yours too.
