Ive never made one before.how long should you soak the fruit and how long before its eaten should it be made!

1 week, but you can soak over night also, longer the better.

Fruit is usually soaked overnight (not all recipes require the fruit to be soaked).

Most people like to make their Christmas cake a couple of months before Christmas to let the flavours develop and 'mature'.However, a hint from one of NZ's celebrity bakers is to freeze your cake and that apparently speeds up the maturing process.
