"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Personal Notes:
The basic recipe is shown below. After making this for so many years, for my own version I change the mixed fruit for sultanas I also add glazed cherries and nuts, swap sugar for muscovado sugar and I add a good shot of "good stuff". The "good stuff" is bourbon! I also substitute mixed spice for the ginger.
