Wish I had a good fruit cake recipe. I've seen lots on line but am a bit hesitant to try another one after the disaster last year. Want to be sure it is really good before I purchase the ingredients for another recipe.
Does anyone have a really good homemade fruit cake recipe they'd be willing to share... One that the family likes year after year?

My family also has an uncooked fruit cake recipe. I haven't made it in years. Maybe I'll make it this year. It's best if you make it before Thanksgiving and keep in freezer till Christmas. Unfortunately it never lasts till Christmas in it's entireity, very addicting.I'm going to have to look up my recipe but as far as I can remember it went something like this.
1 box graham crackers, crushed
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 pound pecan halves
1 package shredded coconut
1 package each red and green candied cherries
1 package candied orange peel, chopped
1 box golden raisins
1 box regular raisins
Mix everything with your hands until an even consistancy.
Line the graham cracker box with aluminum foil and press everything back in the box. The compression is very important, makes it very dense. Keep in freezer at least 2 weeks, 4 weeks is better. Slice very thin. This is really rich and almost like candy.
I don't fool with the graham cracker box any more, I use the heaviest plastic wrap I can find and a plastic container about the size of the cracker box. Very important is the container has to be larger at the top than at the bottom so you can get the cake out to slice it. As a last resort you can carve a hunk out with a knife.
