OK...Here's how you really make fruit cake.
Fruit Cake
1 pound each pineapple and cherries-the kind that are specially for fruit cake that the stores have during the holidays. I usually get a pound of red cherries and a pound of green cherries.
2 pounds chopped dates
2 pounds shelled, coarsely chopped pecans
1 cup coconut
1 cup flour
2 cans Eagle Brand sweetend condensed milk
Mix all ingredients together. This is a very stiff dough and you may have to use your hands. Pack into lightly greased pans. Bake 1 and 1/2 hours at 325°F
Pans - use a large tube pan or six small loaf pans and a medium loaf pan.
