Mix well. Add spices to flour and add to mixture. Add strawberry jam and
fruit last. Divide into two, five pound pans which have been greased and
floured. Bake for 3 hours in a preheated oven at 275 – 300 F (150 – 160 C).

NOTE: If rum is used instead of coffee allow the fruit to soak in it
overnight for a better flavour.
