Fruitcake

From your great-great Grandma E.

I don't remember eating fruitcake prepared by Grammy, but my Mom, your Grandma G. always made this for Christmas when I was a kid. It's hard to explain the goodness; unlike any other fruitcake with it's creamy, richness. We'll make it together this year!

10 oz. mini-marshmallows
1 C. sugar
1 C. whipping cream
Mix and cook until marshmallows are melted. Cool.

Add: (don't chop the fruit or nuts!)
1 # graham cracker crumbs, crushed
1 # shelled whole walnuts
1 # Brazil nuts
1/2 # light raisins
1/2 # candied pineapple
1/2 # dates
1 # candied cherries

Mix well and put in well buttered glass pan.
Keep in refrigerator for few days prior to cutting.
Slice to serve, or wrap in pieces for gifts.
