Mom's Fruitcake with Brandy

"This is the fruitcake my mother made from the time I was a little girl. It isn't full of the citrus fruits and I've never met anyone who didn't like it. You may substitute wine or fruit juice for the brandy."

1 cup dried currants
2 cups raisins
3 cups boiling water to cover
1 cup candied cherries
1 (16 ounce) package gum drops, no licorice ones
2 cups pitted dates, cut in half
1 1/4 cups walnuts
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
2 teaspoons ground allspice
1/4 cup brandy
1 cup apple jelly
1 1/4 cups butter
3 cups white sugar
7 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
5 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
