    | 1. Combine the dried fruit, alcohol, honey, cinnamon stick, ginger slices and zests in a Dutch oven or large heavy pot. | 2. Place pot over medium-low heat and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes, until fruit mixture is plump and most of the liquid has been absorbed. | 3. Scrape into a large glass or ceramic bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and let stand one week, stirring every few days (my grandma used to soak hers in a big jar for 8 months!). | 4. Heat the oven to 275°F and grease 5 mini (5” x 2” x 2”) loaf pans. | 5. In a bowl, whisk together the flours, baking powder, egg replacer, spices and candied cherries. | 6. In a large bowl, beat together the butter, coconut oil and brown sugar until fluffy. | 7. Add the eggs and beat for 3 minutes. | 8. Scrape down the sides, add the flour mixture and beat until just combined (batter will be somewhat thin). | 9. Remove the cinnamon stick and ginger slices from the soaked fruit mixture and add it, along with any liquid. Stir until just combined. | 10. Divide batter between the pans and bake for 2 hours and 30 minutes, deep brown and a knife comes out with slightly moist crumbs clinging to it (think brownies). | 11. Let cakes cool in pans for 30 minutes, then carefully turn out onto a wire rack and cool fully. | 12. Wrap cooled cakes in plastic wrap, then foil, and keep at room temperature for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for longer storage. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
