Instructions

Make the sponge: Combine the warm water, yeast, and 1 tsp sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer and stir briefly. Sprinkle in the 1/2 cup flour and stir until a thick, shaggy paste forms. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature until bubbly and visibly risen, about 30–45 minutes.

Soak the fruit: Combine the golden raisins, dark raisins, candied orange peel, and candied lemon peel in a small bowl. Pour the rum (or orange juice) over the fruit, toss to coat, and let soak while the sponge activates, at least 30 minutes. Drain any unabsorbed liquid before using.
