Jan's Boiled Pineapple Fruitcake

"The is what I call a white Christmas cake with dry apples, pears, Apricots. I don't like the dark rich fruit cakes so the is what I have come up with. Add time to soak fruit the longer that it sits in the brandy the better it gets"

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>Wife of 25 years to one incredible man, mom to one wonderful spunkly little daughter Emma (14) <br />Two dogs and two rat boys. To sum up the past half century: I was born in Adelaide, South Australia and have lived in Adelaide, South Australia, and now living in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, for the last 26 years. I am lucky enough to work from home, teaching art. My father taught me a lot about cooking from a young age. We all enjoy cooking and quite often all three of us will make a meal together. Emma has just started to put together her own cook book, this is what brought me to Recipezaar. Emma has one night a week that she is responsible for dinner. We hope to post some recipes soon.</p>
