Here is one my mom makes, it's an Ice Box Fruit Cake and can be ready by Christmas, yes...it's yummy!
Ice Box Fruit Cake
1 qt. pecans
1 qt. walnuts
1 lb. marshmallows
1 lb. graham crackers
1 sm. can Pet milk (evaporated)
candied figs
candied cherries----lot's of them
colored pineapple for the top
1 lb. raisins
Crush the crackers very fine, mix with the nuts. Add raisins, cherries and figs.
Melt the marshmallows in the milk. Mix this together with the dry ingredients. Arrange the pineapples in the bottom of a bundt pan. Put mixture on top and pack, pack, pack it well. Keeping your hands wet will help to keep it from sticking to your hands so much. Cover very well and place in the refridgerator for at least 3 weeks.
I hope you try this and like it! :lol:
