Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. Line the bottom and sides of a large
tube pan and a small loaf pan with foil; grease the pans. Chop
coarsely the raisins, cherries, pineapple, citron, orange peel, lemon
peel and pecan halves.
In large bowl, soften the 3 sticks of butter. Cream in a box of
confectioner's sugar, then fill box to the same level with flour.
Pour half of the flour over the fruit and nuts; mix thoroughly so all
are well-floured.
Add six eggs to butter/sugar, one at a time, while beating. Add
vanilla extract and fold in flour. Stir in fruits and nuts; fold in
liquor. Pour into cake pans and bake approximately 2 hours.
