Congrats on the 1st anniversary!

Here is the fruitcake recipe that I have, but it needs some help. The spices are not just right. It just doesn't taste like Grandma's. Can anybody help me out a bit, please?

Old fashioned Fruit cake
1lb whole pecans
1lb dates
½ lb candied cherries
5 whole eggs, beaten till fluffy
1c sugar
1 c. plus 1 tbsp. plain flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. vanilla
¼ - ½ c. brandy or orange juice

Mix dry ingredients and sift over fruit and nuts: pour beaten eggs over. Add vanilla and mix well.

Pour into greased pans and bake in low oven (no more than 300) for 1 ½ hrs. Let stand a week or more before cutting. (it is best to let stand 30 days or more)

* brandy or orange juice should be added after all ingredients have been mixed before baking.

Note: Add ½ tsp allspice, ½ tsp nutmeg, ½ tsp cinnamon to dry ingredients.

Try adding a 1/2 cup of powdered Honey nut Cheerios to any chocolate chip cookie recipe.

If anyone has ever wanted to make a turducken but didn't want to make it with an entire turkey, duck and chicken due to lack of oven space, here's a recipe for a turducken roast, with layers of turkey, duck and chicken breasts sandwiched with layers of stuffing.
