Add the remaining sour cream, vanilla, 1 cup sugar and eggs; process until combined. Gently combine with the noodles.
Stir the fruits in by hand and then pour mixture into a buttered 9 by 13 inch Pyrex dish. The mixture will almost overflow. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
When ready to bake, place in a preheated 350 degree oven for 50 minutes.
Combine the walnuts with ⅓ cup sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle mixture on top of the kugel. Dot with 2 tablespoons butter and bake for 20 minutes more. Serve warm or at room temperature.
