Apricot Glaze
Coarsely chop the dried fruit and ginger and combine with the nuts in a bowl. Mix the flour and spice through the fruit.
In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs with the sugar and brandy. Add to the fruit mixture and stir. Spread into the lined loaf tin and bake for 1½ hours.
To make the glaze, warm the apricot jam and stir in the brandy. Brush over the cake while the cake is still warm. This cake will keep in an airtight container for several weeks.
