This is the fruitcake recipe I have been searching for. I don't like the ice box fruitcakes that have those hard citrus pieces in it. This one is loaded with nuts and good tasting fruit like candied pineapple and cherries. I also added some dried papaya that was in some trail mix I had. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because it turned out too dry and crumbly, so I decided to melt a few more marshmallows in some regular milk. This did the trick and it was perfect. I will definitely use this recipe again, with my modifications.

<p>I am one of the early members of Zaar joining in October 2001. It was instantly my favorite site even though there were only about 5000 recipes. Back then the original owners Troy and Gay ran the site and they had a lot of interaction with the members. I miss them. <br /> <br />Through the years it still remains to this day my favorite go to site and the one that I send all of my friends and family to when they need anything.</p> 8724616"
