02:12okay we're also going to need to squeeze one lemon and one orange well this is the orange
02:20them squeezing first obviously. So we'll have to squeeze an orange. Get the juice out of the way.
02:34Also have to get that lemon.
02:38The orange and lemon together, I don't think that matters.
02:42It's going to be mixed together in the sauce anyway.
02:47So get the lemon.
02:50There we go. Now we gotta put the zest in this well. Do the zest. Do the zest. Gotta zest. Do the best. Do the zest.
03:13So let's zest in this lemon.
03:20Lemon zest, lemon zest. You in the lemon zest.

03:32And the lemon.
03:45And we'll also zest the orange.
03:47I know what they say. Waste not, want not.
03:57If not, want not.
04:04God damn.
04:06How'd you guys zest hit my knuckle?
04:08Eh.
04:09No blood.
04:10All right, here we go. Orange and lemon juice and zest. Isn't that the best?
04:17All right, now that we got everything prepped up, we gotta start making this. We gotta put the nice little saucepan.
04:32And we gotta chop up some butter.
04:33And then we have to put in, uh, it says, uh, three quarter cups of butter. Now, uh, one stick of butter is half a cup. So we're gonna have to, uh, put in a stick and a half. That means we'll chop up the butter.
04:47Da-da-da-da.
05:02Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum.
05:08Get a stick of butter into this spot.
05:14Get a stick and a half a butter into this pot.
05:19We'll make a stick and a half a butter, you see. Butter, you see. You see. And let this melt.
05:27And we'll start adding in our next ingredient.
05:30All right, our next ingredient is we're gonna need a cup of brown sugar.
05:37So let's get the brown sugar out.
05:41There we go.
05:48So we'll need a cup of brown sugar.
05:53You gotta put these things in brown sugar, otherwise it will harden.
06:00So we'll put a cup of brown sugar in here.
06:07All right, now we're gonna need, uh, two and two thirds cups of, uh, mixed dried fruit.
06:21So I don't know how much is in here, but put this in here.
06:28It should be about two and two thirds cup, more or less.
06:34And then stir that in.
06:37La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
06:43Making fruitcake, la, la, la, la.
06:49Making fruitcake.
06:53It's probably gonna suck.
06:56It's probably gonna suck.
06:58Probably gonna suck.
07:00Probably gonna suck.
07:02Throw in those cherries that we, uh, roughly chopped earlier.
07:06So let's get that into the pot.
07:08All right, we just poured in a cup of dried cranberries.
07:12I don't know if I recorded it right, but all right, we'll continue stirring and spinning the pot.
07:24I should probably stir it like this way though.
07:27Here it is.
07:28So we'll continue stirring.
07:33Boy, it's getting thick in here.
07:35Let me tell you.
07:36Ooh, ah.
07:39Gotta use some muscle with all this fruit I'm putting in here.
07:48La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
07:53La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
08:00All right, our next ingredient
08:02is the, uh, the juice we just put in.
08:08We've made a, so let's get this orange and lemon juice, which is with the, uh, zest, of course.
08:18And that will hold.
08:20There we go. Look at that.
08:23Ooh-wee.
08:24All right, let's stir in that brandy with the fruit.
08:30Let me tell you something.
08:44Holding a camera while shooting is tough.
08:46La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
08:52A little smoosh on my camera.
08:54La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
09:04All right, we gotta stir this brandy real nice.
09:07Now we gotta make sure it heats up to a nice little gentle bubble.
09:11And then, uh, that'll be our next step.
09:13We'll have to let it simmer.
09:14Once it reaches, once it reaches that scene,
09:16we'll have to simmer for 10 minutes.
09:19Making sure everything gets together and mixed together nicely
09:23for our holiday fruitcake.
09:30You know, I heard that fruitcake is, like, the gift you give people,
09:33you want to say fuck you to.
09:36But someone sent me this recipe, so hopefully it comes out well.
09:41All right, looks like we've reached our gentle bubble.
09:46So let's let this simmer for 10 minutes while stirring occasionally.
09:53All right, now we can take this off the heat.
09:56And let it, uh, cool down for about 30 minutes.
09:58And then we'll start our next step.
10:02All right, now that this has cooled down,
10:04we gotta put in our next ingredient, which is a, uh,
10:12half a cup of ground almonds.
10:15So let's get a half cup of ground almonds.
10:18Round almonds into the mixture.
10:29Here we go.
10:32Put a little bit, put a little extra almond in there.
10:34Just a hell of it.
10:37Stir that in.
10:38So I suck the fruitcake.
10:47You may be Russian dingses.
10:50Yes, indeed.
10:51We're making a nice fruitcake.
10:53All right, we got the almonds in there now.
10:55Now we got to put in, uh,
11:02three eggs.
11:05So let's get our easy egg cracker.
11:09You can put the three eggs in.
11:12One egg.
11:13Two eggs.
11:20And three eggs.
11:26And three eggs.
11:32And again, stirring as we go.
11:34Yep.
11:41There's our fruitcake.
11:44Here we go.
11:45We'll put a cup of, and two thirds of flour.
11:48So here's the one cup.
11:54Now we'll get two thirds of cup of flour.
12:00So that's one third of a cup.
12:04And two thirds of a cup.
12:07And stir that around nicely.
12:10All right, our next step.
12:11Our next step is to put in some baking powder.
12:13So let's get the baking powder.
12:14Oh, fuck it.
12:15That had the damn baking powder attached to the fucking, uh.
12:19All right, now we have to add in a half teaspoon of baking powder.
12:24So let's get the half teaspoon of baking powder in.
12:28And stir that around.
12:30All right, now we got to spice up this fruitcake.
12:32And, uh, next we got to put in something called, uh, mixed spice.
12:37Now, this in America is basically called pumpkin pie spice.
12:43And we need to put in about a teaspoon.
12:45So let's put in about a teaspoon.
12:47So let's put in about a teaspoon.
12:50And we got to put in, uh, some cinnamon.
12:55About a teaspoon of cinnamon.
12:59And then a quarter teaspoon of allspice.
13:02Of allspice.
13:05Here we go.
13:07Now we mix that together.
13:10Stir it up.
13:13Stir it up.
13:14Stir it up.
13:17All right.
13:21All right.
13:25All right.
13:26Now we got to put it into a cake pan.
13:28Which I've put some, uh, uh, spray on here.
13:36So hopefully it will ease out when I, oops, went through the hole.
13:43So spoon out the mixture into the cake pan.
13:46Da da da da da da.
13:51I'm trying to make it look even at least.
13:59The cake pan.
14:00So we'll try to even this up at the top here.
14:04We got our oven preheat to 300 degrees.
14:08And we're going to get ready to put this into the oven.
14:13All right.
14:14We're going to stick this into the oven, which has been preheat at 300 degrees.
14:21Here it is into the oven.
14:24All right.
14:26And we're going to put it in here for 45 minutes.
14:30Alexa, set a timer for 45 minutes.
14:33All right.
14:34Let's see how the fruitcake is doing.
14:38Loud.
14:42Looking pretty good, I would say.
14:44Now we actually have to keep it in there.
14:46But we're going to decrease the temperature to 275.
14:53Oops.
15:00And then we have to keep it in there for another hour, maybe hour and a half.
15:04We just got to keep our eyes on it.
15:06All right.
15:07Let's take a look how we look.
15:09And oh, I think we're done.
15:10I think we are done, done, done.
15:12So let's take this fruitcake out of the oven.
15:15Kind of heavy, kind of heavy.
15:18And we have to let it rest.
15:21But before we let it rest, we have one more thing to do.
15:23Okay, we're going to take the cake, put some holes in the skewer.
15:26I see it cracked a little bit.
15:27I don't know if that's a good sign.
15:29But yeah, we're going to pour some holes in there.
15:33Poke some holes, poke some holes.
15:35All right.
15:37While it's cooling, we're going to pour just a little bourbon into those holes that we put in.
15:46Probably about four tablespoons.
15:47Just a little bourbon.
15:49Just a little.
15:51Just a little.
15:53And right now we're going to let it rest.
15:55And then we'll have to let it wrap it up and get ready to eat it.
16:02All right.
16:03As this fruitcake gets to room temperature, we got to get ready to take it out of the pan.
16:13All right.
16:14Let's see this thing come out of the pan.
16:17There we go.
16:18Ta-da!
16:21There it is.
16:22Oops, it's looking at me.
16:26All right.
16:27Ah, it's been a day.
16:28Let's see how this fruitcake came out.
16:32I'm going to just...
16:34I mean...
16:36Well, let's unwrap it.
16:37We wrapped it up in foil.
16:40To let it cool.
16:42Let's see how this fruitcake looks.
16:46Ties the sides of the fruitcake.
16:50We're going to see if this came out okay
16:53or if it really fucking sucks.
16:57Oh, yes.
16:58Here we go.
16:59Here we go.
17:01And there is our fruitcake.
17:08Oh, it's breaking apart, Captain.
17:11All right.
17:15We need the parchment paper.
17:16And slice this dish up.
17:19Well...
17:20Okay.
17:21It's already crumbled apart.
17:22Ah!
17:23Fucking goddammit.
17:24I caught it.
17:28Well, shit.
17:29It came up in chunks.
17:31All right.
17:32Well, let's slice off and...
17:35Let's see how this actually came out.
17:39Of course, it doesn't slice.
17:40It crumbles apart.
17:43All right.
17:44Well...
17:46All right.
17:47It only feels appropriate to be near the Christmas tree
17:48as I enjoy this piece of fruitcake.
17:53Here goes nothing.
17:54Merry Christmas.
