Ice Box Fruit Cake
3 cups pecans, chopped
8 large marshmallows
1 can sweetened condensed milk
12 oz. box vanilla wafers, crushed
1 cup coconut
10 candied cherries, chopped
1/8 lb. candied pineapple, chopped raisins, if desired
wine, if desired
Combined crushed wafers, coconut, chopped cherries, pecans and
pineapple and place in large bowl. Mix well. Also add raisins, if
desired.
Melt marshmallows in top of double boiler. Add milk to melted
marshmallows and mix well. Remove from heat and pour onto wafer
mixture. Mix well. If desired, pour 1/4 to 1/2 cup of any good
sweet wine - scuppernong, blackberry, pear, etc. When cool enough
to handle, form into logs and wrap in waxed paper. Chill at least
24 hours before serving -- the longer the chilling, the better.
Slice into 1/2" slices and arrange on small platter. Best served
cold. Can be made 2 weeks in advance.
