White Bright Fruitcake

This cake doesn't have the regular fruitcake staying power and should be eaten within a week. If you can't find the individually packaged candied citron, lemon and orange peel, use 1 lb 2 oz (560 g) candied mixed peel.

Chewy Fruitcake Blondies

These blondies have all the flavour of fruitcake, but they take just a fraction of the time to make. Soaking the fruit and nuts in rum gives them a subtle boozy flavour without the need to soak the finished product in spirits for a month.

Fruitcake Shortbread

Fruitcake may not be everyone's cup of tea, but if you love it, you truly love it. The rum glaze goes on while the cookies are still warm, so it soaks in and gives them a hint of boozy flavour – just like the real deal. If diced mixed glazed fruit is unavailable, substitute with a combo of diced mixed peel and glac? cherries.

Golden Brandy Nut-Free Fruitcake

A look through past recipes revealed that we have never developed a nut-free fruitcake – so here it is. A jewel-like topping and variety of fruits ensures that no one will even notice that the nuts are missing.
