MAMMA'S ICEBOX FRUITCAKE
My family doesn't really like the traditional fruitcake, but will eat this like crazy. The thing I like most about it is that it freezes really good. You can make it a month in advance, freeze, defrost and serve later. Cook time is actually chill time.

Steps:
- Lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Crush the graham crackers using a food processor or add them to a large ziptop bag and crush using a rolling pin. Coarsely chop the cherries.
- Combine crushed graham crackers, pecans, cherries, raisins, coconut, marshmallows, and sweetened condensed milk in a large bowl and mix well. Add reserved cherry juice by the tablespoonful until the mixture comes together, but isn't too soft. I usually add between 2 and 3 tablespoons.
- Turn out into the prepared dish and press flat with your hands. Cover and chill at least 6 hours, then cut into bars. Keep refrigerated.
MAWMAW'S ICE BOX FRUITCAKE
This recipe came from my mother-in-law 40+ years ago. She always served it at Christmas. I had never enjoyed fruitcake because it was dry. From the first bite I loved this one. It was moist and had the kind of fruit and nuts I loved. My mother-in-law passed away over 20 years ago unexpectedly and I had failed to get...

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.
MOMMA'S ICEBOX FRUITCAKE
This cake reminds me of my childhood. My mother had to grind the graham crackers, melt marshmallows to make creme and shell, pick out and chop the pecans. Thank goodness it isn't that much trouble today. I don't like baked fruitcakes but I love this one!!!
