Christmas cake 2

Glazed fruits make a pretty alternative to the traditional marzipan and royal icing. I used cherries, pineapple and apricots, but any dried or glace fruits would work.

Ingredients
1 heaped tbsp apricot jam
2 tbsp brandy
Dried or glace fruits of your choice

* in a small pan mix together the jam and brandy and gently heat
* brush the top of the cake with about 1/2 the jam mixture
* arrange the fruits over the top of the cake and glaze with the rest of the jam.
