Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Beat butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. Beat in honey and jam, and then eggs. Add flour mixture, and beat, alternating with ricotta. Beat in nuts and dried fruit.
- Press a square of parchment into each cup of a standard muffin tin to create a liner (you can also use baking cups). Divide batter evenly among liners. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Transfer tin to a wire rack. Let stand for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the honey glaze: Bring honey to a boil in a saucepan, and cook for 3 minutes. Stir in lemon juice and salt.
- Brush fruitcakes with glaze, and garnish with dried fruit. Brush again with glaze. Remove from pans. Let cool. Serve fruitcakes with Mixed Citrus Sauce.
MINI FRUITCAKES
Fruitcake always looked so festive to me but I did not like the hard citron fruit so I came up with my own recipe using dried fruits and nuts. I place these in Christmas themed petit fours paper cups and give them to neighbors and friends along with the many other cookies and candies I bake. These keep well in the freezer in an airtight container. Just thaw to room temperature and they taste fresh baked and moist. -Lisa McDermith, Highland, California

WONDERFUL MINI FRUITCAKE
These are wonderful to make for the holidays..they always bake out beautifully, and taste so fantastic, and also, chock full of fruit and nuts...This recipe makes five mini loaves, which is great, as you can give away as gifts, or just keep them for yourself...These loaves acctually taste better the second or third day, so wrap in plastic, and store in the fridge, then freeze if desired...I like to drizzle the cakes with brandy before storing them..this makes them extra special
