Loretta's Fruit Cake
1 pound butter
1 pound sugar
1 pound flour
10 eggs, well beaten
1/2-3/4 box currants
1/2-3/4 box rasins

2 oranges
2 lemons
1 t nutmeg
1 t allspice

Candied cherries (red/green whatever you prefer)
Nut halves (pecan, walnut, whatever)
Cream butter and sugar. In a separate bowl, beat eggs and whiskey together. Add to butter/sugar mix and beat throughly. Add spices to flour and mix together. Work flour (reserve about a half cup) into butter, sugar, egg mixture. Mix raisins and currants with reserved flour, add to cake batter. Add candied fruit, mix. Peel thin strips of rind off of both the lemon and orange, dice and add in. Juice one lemon and one orange and add juice to batter. Peel, section, and dice the fruit of the other lemon and orange, add to batter. The batter at this point is very slack and stuffed with fruit. Pour into oiled or buttered cake pans, bread pans, whatever you have around. Fill up about half to 2/3 full of batter. Decorate top with cherries and nut halves. Bake at 325 until done. (i.e. clean toothpick trick)
