Combine the fruit with the apricot nectar in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low; cover and simmer for 5 mins. Remove from the heat. Cover and let stand overnight.

Beat butter and brown sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Stir in the fruit mixture until well combined. Stir in sifted dry ingredients. Spread the mixture into the prepared pan.
Bake for about 2 1/2 hours. Cover with foil. Cool in the pan.
