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.
