We have made fig + date wine, all from preserved dried fruit, it ended up tasted exactly like fruit cake, a very good fruit cake without all those colored plastic pieces of fruit. We used it to cure our own fruit cakes made without plastic fruits but with dried elderberries, real dried cherries and nuts.
That sounds delish; both the wine and fruit cake. I made a wine based on the fruit cake ancestor, plum pudding. Dried blueberries, cranberries, dates, raisins, cherries, candied ginger, cloves, and allspice...
I think it's been bottled for about seven months, maybe nine. It's smelled wonderfully, and filled my apartment with the best aroma. Perhaps better than the plum pudding, itself.
Alas, I still haven't tried the wine. It's resting in wine storage for a long haul.
