Getting into the Holiday spirit - Making the Cake

The first task is to soak the fruit. Place the dried mixed fruit in a bowl with the glace cherries and dried apricots if you are using them. Add the zest and juice of 2 oranges and 4 tbsp brandy (or cold tea, orange or apple juice if you do not want to add alcohol). Cover and leave to soak in a cool place over night.
