So far so good. Have tasted it after one week. (I know! It's too soon but could not wait.) Did not put in the figs and added walnuts and pecans (big time). Tripled the brandy for soaking the fruit and nuts. Wrapped all of the cakes with 4 layers of cheese cloth soaked in brandy, then wrapped in foil. I am turning the cakes weekly to keep the juices flowing through the cake (my Mom told me about that one. Some of her cakes were aged up to 5 years.). After about 8 weeks turn them once a month for 4 months, then they should be ok. Always check about every 4 months to see if the cheese cloth is dry. If so, give it another brandy soak.
Great recipe. It is my basic chiken stock recipe and works well. Just make sure that you reduce the broth after lifting the fat off. Broth should gell slightly in the fridge. Good recipe. Can't go wrong and you can add whatever you want to suit your tastes..
