Ingredients

Directions

  • Heat the oven to 375°F.
  • Combine orange rind, figs, and raisins in a bowl. Bring sherry to a boil in a saucepan and pour over the fig mixture. Allow the dried fruit mixture to cool.
  • Add flours, salt, cardamom, baking powder, cloves, and baking soda to a large mixing bowl. Stir until well combined.
  • Add oil, buttermilk, honey, and vanilla to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Beat for 2 minutes. Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture and beat just until combined.
  • Use a spatula to stir in the dried fruit mixture, pistachios, and olives.
  • Spoon the batter into a 9-x-5-inch loaf pan coated with baking spray. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs clinging to the pick.
  • Cool the fruitcake in the pan on a wire rack for at least 5 minutes. Remove bread from pan and cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, heat a sauce pan over medium heat. Add in fig spread, water, syrup, and salt to make a glaze. Bring to a boil, then turn heat to low and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. Allow the glaze to cool slightly, then pour and spread it over the loaf.
