Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. In a Ziploc bag mix together mixed peel, candied cherries, raisins and rum. Seal bag and leave on countertop for a full week (7 days!). Turn the bag daily to ensure fruit marinates evenly.
  2. To remove skin from hazelnuts: place in a baking sheet in 350 degree oven for about 7 minutes. Rub with fingers or paper towel and skin will slide off easily. Chop them in half.
  3. Mix together almond and hazelnuts, set aside.
  4. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
  5. Cream together butter and sugar.
  6. Beat in eggs one at a time.
  7. Stir in vanilla and maple extracts and melted chocolate.
  8. Add sifted flour, baking powder and soda, and salt.
  9. Fold in the fruit and any liquid remaining (should have almost all been absorbed!) as well as the nuts.
  10. Distribute evenly between two small to medium greased and floured loaf pans.
  11. Bake for 45 minutes then test for doneness. If not done continue baking as long as necessary checking after 5 to 10 minute intervals but do not over cook or cake will be dry.
  12. Cool completely in baking pans. Remove and brush with extra rum.
  13. Seal in foil or freezer wrap and freeze until Christmas.
  14. Thaw completely to room temperature before slicing and serving.
