@5:56 To get every last bit of "mashed" fruits out of your food processor bowl and to make it easier to clean it up afterwards, add the 2 cups of rum to it and process for about 10 seconds.

Too bad half of my family are recovering alcoholics and probably shouldn't come anywhere near this cake.

My cake came out great this year, my fruit was soaked over a year.

This was so interesting, because the recipe & ingredients look so similar to the traditional fruitcake recipe handed down in my family. We too soak all the fruits, usually in a mix of rum & brandy, and once the cake is made, the whole cake itself is soaked in brandy for at least 2 weeks before being sliced & served. Makes me feel ambitious enough to maybe make it this year! :)

Uh oh. Good video, but I don't think I've acquired the taste of Rum Cake just yet. My sister's already planing after seeing this video.
