"This recipe was given to me by my aunt Sibyl in Ozona, Texas. It has been in our family for many years. It is rather unique; as strange as it may sound, there is no flour in this recipe. This is a wonderful fruitcake; try it, you'll like it. It freezes very well."

ingredients

2 lbs chopped dates
2 (8 ounce) cans Eagle Brand Condensed Milk
2 lbs chopped pecans
1 (7 ounce) can coconut
¹⁄₂ lb chopped candied red cherries
¹⁄₂ lb chopped candied pineapple

directions

In a very large bowl, combine all ingredients. You will need to mix with your hands. This will take some time to do so.
Line tube pan with parchment paper.
Spoon mixture into tube pan and press down slightly.
Bake at 300 degrees for 1 hour and 15 minutes. As ovens vary, check cake by inserting toothpick in center. It will come out clean when done.
I have also made this fruitcake using 2 loaf pans. Either way, it comes out beautifully. Enjoy!

I am a retired AT&T (alias Soluthwestern Bell) employee. I love to cook and have collected many recipes through the years, mostly from family members. Some have been revised from original and a few I have created. I love collecting and sharing and I think this recipe exchange is simply devine.
