Plump Up Your Dried Fruits The Night Before

This is an important step when making fruitcake that will really affect the final product. To "plump" up your dried fruits, simply soak them overnight in liquor, such as brandy or rum, or even fruit juice. When ready to add them to the cake batter, pour them in with the soaking liquid. This will help soften them up and make them juicier in the finished cake.
