For best results, use high-quality dried fruit and nuts. If you prefer a darker, richer flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar. The fruitcake can be stored in an airtight tin for several weeks, or even months, in a cool, dark place. Regularly basting with brandy enhances the flavor and keeps the cake moist. Be sure to wrap the fruitcake tightly in plastic wrap after each basting. Adjust the spices to your personal preference. Some people like a stronger clove or cinnamon flavor.
