Preheat oven to 300°. Combine fruits and pecans; dredge in 1 cup flour and set aside. Cream butter and add sugar. Using an electric mixer, beat at medium speed. Add eggs and beat well. Combine remaining flour, baking soda and spices. Add to creamed mixture, mixing well. Stir in milk and bourbon. Add fruit mixture and mix well. Batter will be stiff. Chill dough at least 1 hour.
