Unbaked Fruitcake
1 pound candied cherries (cut up)
1 pound candied pineapple (cut up)
1 pound citron ( or more of the other fruit, if you don't care for citron )
2 cups raisins
1/2 pound figs (chopped)
1/2 pound dates (chopped)
2 pounds pecans (chopped)
2 pound graham cracker crumbs
1 cup brown sugar
4 cans Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk
1 tsp each: salt, cloves, allspice, cinnamon
Line bottom of tube pan with wax paper. Mix all well and pack in pan.
Best made 3-4 weeks ahead.
As you can tell this makes a large cake - you may want to half the recipe. Also, if you will rub a hot rag around the sides and bottom of the pan prior to releasing it from the pan, it helps. You may also slide a knife around the inside edges.
