I don't know if this is a regional dish or what ... but NO ONE I talk to seems to have ever heard of it except the people in my family... and most people act like it's sooooo ODD ... but it's really yummy and it's really simple common ingredients ...

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, stir together the pecans, raisins, walnuts, cherries, condensed milk and vanilla wafers. Dough will be very thick, you will need to use your hands.
- Form dough into a ring shape on top of a dinner plate. Wrap in many layers of plastic wrap and/or aluminum foil. Allow to age in the refrigerator for at least a week. The flavors will have a chance to blend and all of the milk will be absorbed into the cake.

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.

Steps:
- 1. Chop pecans and drained cherries. Put in large mixing bowl.
- 2. Add raisins. Mix well with pecans and cherries.
- 3. Put marshmallows and small can of pet milk in a large microwaveable bowl. Stir well to wet the marshmallows with the milk.
- 4. Microwave marshmallows and pet milk until marshmallows are softened. About 2-3 minutes on high. Adjust time to your microwave. Don't leave this alone, watch closely so marshallows won't burn.
- 5. Pour 1/2 finely crushed graham crackers into marshmallow mixture. Stir to wet the crackers. Add rest of crackers to this mixture and stir well again.
- 6. Add fruit and nut mixture to cracker mixture and stir well. Make sure all fruits and nuts are incorporated into cracker mixture. This takes some "elbow grease".
- 7. Press into an 8" square, glass pan. Press well, using your fingers if necessary. It may not look like all the cake mixture will fit in the 8" pan, but it will.
- 8. Refrigerate over night. Cut into 1/4" - 1/2" slices to serve. This is an easy fruitcake.
