CHRISTMAS APRICOT AND WALNUT FRUITCAKE

A common Christmastime tradition is fruitcake, and there’s so many varieties to choose from. My version is free of alcohol and loaded with both candied and dried fruit, as well as walnuts. Christmas Apricot and Walnut Fruitcake just might be your new favourite Christmas tradition!

2 1/2 cups water
1 1/2 cups raisins
2 cups dried apricots, roughly chopped
1 1/4 cups white sugar

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
