Instructions
Cut foil into three 12-in. squares. Turn pots upside down; press one square of foil over each as smoothly as possible.
Remove shaped foil. Turn pot right side up and press foil down into pots, pressing firmly against all sides.
Let extra foil hang over rim of pots to aid in removal later. Generously grease inside of foil and dust with flour; set aside.
In a large bowl, combine cake mix, cinnamon and nutmeg.
Add apple juice and eggs; beat on low speed for 30 seconds, then on medium for 3 minutes.
Combine raisins and flour; fold into batter. Fill each prepared pot three-fourths full.
Place pots on a baking sheet.
Bake at 325° for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
Place pots on a wire rack to cool. When cooled, remove foil liners from pots. Carefully peel off foil and discard.
Heat a small amount of corn syrup and brush over tops of loaves. Decorate with candied cherries. Wrap loaves in plastic wrap or with a napkin and put back into pots for gift-giving.
Recommended wine: Cream Sherry, Port, Moscato Dasti
Fruit Cake works really well with Cream Sherry, Port, and Moscato d'Asti. A common wine pairing rule is to make sure your wine is sweeter than your food. Delicate desserts go well with Moscato d'Asti, nutty desserts with cream sherry, and caramel or chocolate desserts pair well with port. One wine you could try is Faire La Fete Cremant de Limoux. It has 4.7 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 17 dollars.
