Preheat oven to 325℉. Liberally grease 2 9x5 loaf pans in addition to job amongst parchment paper. Set aside. Place dried pineapple, raisins, apricots, dates, cranberries, in addition to brandy in a big microwave rubber bowl in addition to stir to combine. Microwave for 1 infinitesimal, stir, and then microwave for some other infinitesimal. Set aside to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, table salt, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, in addition to cloves. Set aside.

Recipe Notes
*I used a mixture of chopped walnuts as well as pecans!
*I detect that the fruitcakes go more delicious equally the days get on. I'd brand them 2-3 days before yous desire to serve them, together with shop them tightly wrapped at room temperature!
