Instructions
Soak dried fruits in rum, brandy, or orange juice for at least 2 hours (overnight is better).
Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla, molasses, and zest. Add soaked fruits and nuts.
Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, and spices. Fold into the wet mixture alternately with milk/orange juice until smooth.
Pour batter into a greased and lined loaf pan. Bake at 160°C (320°F) for 70–80 minutes, or until a skewer inserted comes out clean.
While still warm, brush the top with extra rum or juice to lock in moisture.
Let cool before slicing.
