ISO graham cracker fruitcake recipe

[adair]

A friend of mine is looking for a fruitcake recipe that uses graham crackers, maraschino cherries, and walnuts. She says that it is a baked cake.

Have checked my recipe books and cannot find anything even close...thought I would see if any of ya-ll might have it.


TIA,

DARN!


I have a graham cracker fruit cake recipe that uses graham crackers, maraschino cherries, and walnuts but its frozen instead of baked.


If she wants that recipe, I will be glad to post it.

Mine is CLOSE to that one, but its my great great grandmothers recipe and you have to freeze it for a month. We always make it after Thanksgiving dinner and freeze it till Christmas.

FurgY, mine is the same as yours EXCEPT I use raisins instead of dates and I dont bake it.


My mom has always wanted to bake it though. I may send her this recipe.
