My stepmother made this fruitcake when I was a girl (that was a long,long time ago!)And I asked her if she would send me the recipe some years ago. So the recipe you see if from her to me. She is still living at age 93.

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb graham crackers
1 box seedless raisins
1 pkg dates
1/2 lb candied cherries
1/4 lb candied pineapple
1 lb mixed fruit
1 qt shelled pecans or walnuts
3/4 lb marshmallows
1/2 stick butter (oleo)
1 can(s) eagle brand milk
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp mace

Steps:

  • 1. Crush graham crackers very fine( in those days I used graham crackers but today I would use 1 pound graham cracker crumbs.
  • 2. Chop and combine fruits and nuts
  • 3. Heat butter, Eagle brand milk and marshmallows until marshmallows melt
  • 4. Mix graham cracker crumbs with fruit and nuts, add spices and combine with Eagle Brand milk and marshmallow mixture. Mix well and pack in pan that has been lined with plastic wrap or cheese cloth. The mixture will be very sticky and I used my hands to mix as soon as the hot mixture cooled enough. Cake will keep indefinitely in the refrigerator Also in those days plastic wrap was not avaiable. Note: my step mom would wrap the fruit cake in the cheesecloth and then pour some brandy over it. I mix a little brandy extract in while mixing the whole thing together. This fruit cake tastes just like "Claxton Fruit Cake" if you've ever had any.
