Combine the pears, raisins (or dried currants), figs, walnuts, 2 cups water
and brandy (or unsweetened apple juice) in a bowl. Let stand overnight or
at least 3 hours.
Dissolve the yeast in the warm water. Add the oil, sugar and cinnamon.
Blend in the dried fruit and nut mixture. Stir in enough flour to make a
stiff dough. Beat well.
Spoon the dough into a 10-inch tube pan or Bundt pan. Let rise in a warm
place 1 to 1-1/2 hours, or until almost doubled.
Bake in a 400-degree oven for 30 to 40 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10
minutes.
Remove from the pan and cool completely on a wire rack. When cooled
thoroughly, wrap in aluminum foil and store for at least 3 days before
serving.
Cake may be kept in an airtight container in a cool place for several weeks
before use.
