Unlike other fruitcakes you may be used to, studded with embalmed fruit in electric colors, this recipe is stuffed with dried fruit. Here's a tip: don't buy previously chopped date pieces, as these are often rolled in oat flour.

Ingredients
Method
Combine apples, apricots, dates, currants, raisins and cranberries in a large bowl.
Heat the apple juice just to a boil and then pour over the fruit. Mix well, cover and set aside at room temperature overnight.
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
In a large bowl, stir together pecans, soy flour, potato starch, xanthan gum, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice; set aside.
Cream together butter and sugar in a large bowl.
Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition.
Add pecan mixture alternately with applesauce, stirring after each addition.
Add fruit mixture and stir just until combined.
Divide thick batter evenly between 4 greased loaf pans. Bake for about 1 hour, or a toothpick inserted in the center of each loaf comes out clean.
Set loaves aside to let cool.
