• In a large bowl, mix flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. Add chopped pecans, raisins, chopped dates and cherries. Stir until the fruit and nuts are evenly coated. Stir in the cooled applesauce mixture. Pour into prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 2 hours, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

You really want to soak the cake in Bourbon! Wrap cake well and store in refrigerator.
