Christmas cake

[SPR2]

I have been asked to make an achohol free Christmas cake and am wondering the best substitute for the achohol, orange juice, tea or can anyone suggest anything better please.

Try a mix of sugar syrup, orange and almond essence. Tastes pretty potent.

I suggest not adding alcohol and do it as normal without any alcohol, surely as having Christmas cakes without alcohol they will not notice the difference?

Just add more sugary fruity stuff for the poor bastids!

Presoak the fruit in a strong tea, maybe with a little orange flower water added (this has alcohol as a base IIRC, but not much)
