Please Join Me

Won't you join me for a cup of steaming coffee or tea and some of my fruitcake.  We're just getting ready to have some.  In case you would like to make some of this one here's the recipe.........easy!

One package yellow cake mix preferably with pudding
One small can crushed pineapple (I think next time I'll use a larger can)
Eggs, butter and water according to cake mix directions
Container of candied cherries - I think it's 1 lb.
One lb. pkg walnuts
2 large bread pans or 4 smaller

Prepare cake mix according to directions except count the juice in the pineapple as part of the liquid. Add fruit, pour in creased loaf pans.  Bake according to directions................that's it!  This is a great recipe if you just want to get some fruitcakes going and don't want to start from scratch - like picking the fruit from the tree, hehee!

Diane I love fruit cake and have an old-fashioned one, wrapped in cheese cloth and doused with spirits and just waiting for me to cut into it. I have had the cake about which you've written, though, and I love it too. I've always wanted the recipe but have never found it - til now! Thanks so much!

Hi Diane....this looks scrumptious and sounds so simple. That's good for me. I have a difficult time picking fruit from the produce bins. If I ever get myself up a tree....well, won't that be something. Tee hee back at you...Rosalie
