Fruit Cake

I was trying to make some fruit cake and found a short cut.

1- yellow cake mix. make use box directions.
1- 32 oz glace fruit mix
1/4 lb mixed unsalted nuts
1/2 cp fresh raisins
1/2 cp huckleberries

Mix into cake batter, mix with wooden spoon, fold over gently.
Pour batter into prepared loaf pans.
2- loaf pans 9"x5"
3- mini loaf pans
Line with foil, spray with Pam. Fill 2/3 full, level these out. Preheat:
bake @ 275 2 1/2-3 hours. Insert tooth pick into center, comes out clean:
remove from oven. Put on to wire racks. Remove from pans, carefully remove
foil; brush cakes with warm apple jelly, apricot jelly, or simple syrup.
Then you may wrap in cheese cloth and soak with sprits. In the past I have
presoaked fruit/nuts in spirits for 2 weeks before using. Better flavor.
