Spirited Fruitcake Gift And Bake In A Jar Recipes
GOOD FRUITCAKE
The ridicule that most fruitcakes face has everything to do with bad recipes, which skimp on fruit and load on the batter. In a good fruitcake the batter should barely be perceptible, acting merely as adhesive to bind the fruit and nuts. Broken down into its parts, a good fruitcake contains ingredients that most people love: plump dates, candied cherries, almond extract, pecans, walnuts and sugar. And when it comes out of the oven, it is showered in whiskey. This is by no means an inexpensive cake to make, and that is largely why it became a traditional gift. It is a cake that you wouldn't make for yourself. It is a treat.

Steps:
- Butter two 9-inch springform pans. Line with parchment paper, and butter again. Heat oven to 275 degrees.
- Coarsely chop dates, prunes and pineapple. Combine fruit in a bowl with cherries and orange peel. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Sift this over fruit. With your hands, toss to coat.
- In medium bowl, beat eggs until frothy. Beat in sugar, then almond extract. Pour over fruit. With wooden spoon, mix well. Fold in pistachios, almonds, pecans and walnuts, and mix until coated with batter.
- Divide mixture between pans. Using your hands, pack batter firmly and fill in open spaces. Bake for about 1 1/2 hours, until tops of cakes look dry but not brown. When cakes are done, transfer to cooling racks. Let stand for 5 minutes, then release springform and peel off parchment paper on sides.
- While cakes are still hot, brush lightly with corn syrup. Let cool 30 minutes, then spoon Armagnac on top. When completely cool, remove cakes from pan base and peel off parchment paper on bottom. If not eating right away, wrap fruitcakes in plastic wrap. They will keep for two months in refrigerator. If storing, sprinkle with more Armagnac an hour before serving.

CANNING JAR CAKES ARE A PERFECT HOMEMADE GIFT
From thespruceeats.com
- Canning Jar Cakes. Yes, you can bake a cake in a canning jar. Better yet, canning jar cakes make wonderful edible gifts. Follow this easy step-by-step tutorial and you'll have yourself some canning jar cakes—also known as Pirate Cakes—in no time.
- Gather Your One-Pint* Canning Jars. Start with clean, dry one-pint canning jars. Be sure to follow the washing instructions on the canning jar box. If re-using jars, be sure to use brand new lids and seals.
- Grease the Jars. Using spray oil, completely cover the inside of the canning jars. Preheat the oven to the temperature as directed in your cake or quick bread recipe.
- Use a Baking Sheet. A baking sheet, preferably with sides, is needed to support the canning jar cakes in and out of the oven. Continue to 5 of 8 below.
- Add Batter to Jar. Use a 1/4 cup scoop to add the batter to the jar. Any batter that sticks to the side, wipe out. Fill the jars to just under the 1-cup mark.
- Bake the Cake. Next, bake your cake. Set your timer for 15 minutes less than the time stated in your recipe. You can use a bamboo skewer to test for doneness.
- Cover the Jars. For the jars to seal themselves, the jars must still be hot. The lids should also be at least room temperature. Sit them on the stove, if necessary.
- Decorate the Jars. To decorate the jars, try using a 10-inch square of fabric cut with pinking shears. If you'd like to spruce up this edible gift, write down the name of the cake on a blank business card, along with the ingredients on it, and attach it to the jar by using a hole punch and a tie.
