Thirty years ago, the Waukegan Public Library had a book titled *The Art of
Cooking with Spirits*. In it was a recipe called "The Fruitcake of the
Twelve Spirits" - each type of fruit was soaked in a different type of
liquor, and the cake was then basted (as I recall, in alternate months)
with rum and brandy. It sounded wonderful, but I never got a chance to
actually try it. If you can find a copy of that....
