Recipe Introduction
This recipe dates back to the late 1950's
Line with wax paper, bottom and sides of a 9" tube pan or loaf pan,holding about 6 cups[ I used loaf pans ]
Put into bowl and let stand until needed
3/4 cup evaporated milk
2 dozen finely cut marshmallows
1/2 cup orange juice
Mix well with fork
[ I microwave the mix until marshmallows are melted instead of waiting for the orange juice to do it ]
Roll into fine crumbs, 4 1/2 cups Graham cracker crumbs
[ It takes 3 and 1/2 packs of crackers,they come 3 packs to a box ]
Put crumbs in large bowl with
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
3/4 cup finely cut dates
1/2 cup raisins [quarter light,quarter dark ][ I used all dark ]
1 cup broken walnuts
1 1/4 cup mixed cut up candied fruit
Add milk mixture,stir with spoon until all crumbs are moistened
Press firmly into pan,top with additional fruit and nuts
[ I used red and green candied cherries cut in half,with walnut halves,put in rows to look nice ]
Cover tightly,chill 2 days before slicing
Keep in cool place
