Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 cups white sugar
- 6 eggs
- 1 1/2 teaspoons almond extract
- 5 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2-2 cups diced mixed candied fruit
- Your choice of chocolate for dipping, optional
Instructions
- Cream your butter and sugar, then add your eggs in. Once those are mixed, add in the almond flavoring.
- Whisk your flour, baking powder and salt together.
- Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients.
- Once those are mixed, add in your candied fruit. I used some mixed fruit (which has peels etc in it, nice and tangy!) plus some cherries chopped up. If you like them very fruity, use about 2 cups, I went with 1 and 1/2 cups and that was good for me.
- Refrigerate the dough for about an hour.
- Once the dough is cooled and firm from its hour in the fridge, split the dough into 4 equal pieces.
- Shape each half into a 12 inch long log, place on a baking sheet covered in parchment paper and flatten slightly.
- Bake in a 325 oven until browned, anywhere from 20-25 minutes, depending on your oven! Cool for about 5 minutes.
- Once the loaves are cool enough to handle, slice them into 1 inch thick slices. Put the slices back on the baking sheet, and toast them in the oven for another 10-15 minutes, turning them once to toast each side.
- Once they are done, remove from the oven and let them cool.
- If desired, dip them into chocolate, the top, the side, the bottom, whichever you want, drizzle with chocolate or leave them plain.
- Store in a closed container.
