Great Grandma Evelyn'S Uncooked Fruitcake - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb vanilla wafer, crushed
2 cups dates, minced finely
1 cup candied cherry, minced finely (optional)
1 lb nuts, diced finely (pecans or walnuts)
1 cup sweet Eagle Brand Condensed Milk

Preparation

In a large bowl combine wafers, dates, cherries (if using), and nuts.
Mix well, then pour Eagle Brand Milk over and continue to mix until all dry ingredients are saturated with the milk. You may have to use your hands to mix as this mixture is quite stiff.
You might have to add a little more milk or water- but only a little at a time.
Line a loaf pan with waxed paper letting it extend over the sides some.
Pack the mixture in the prepared pan, leaving no spaces. Refrigerate 2-3 days before slicing to serve. Slice thinly and refrigerate remaining cake.
