  8. Yum! Tania, do you know if you can substitute the orange juice for something else? Second son gets eczema from oranges.

  9. Joanne, maybe pineapple juice would substitute okay.

    Otherwise I dont know as I am not sure what the juice does within the recipe. Water might even work....

  11. Tania, the "mixed fruit" you have in the recipe, is that mixed dried fruit? Does it come all together or do you buy things separately? Thank you, again. I LOVE fruitcake, but have never made any myself.
