DEE DEE'S NO-BAKE ICEBOX FRUITCAKE AND NUT ROLL

Steps:

• 1. Combine cracker crumbs, cherries, nuts, coconut, raisins, and craisins; set aside. NOTE: This is my suggestion for the meat of this nut roll. You can change out fruits and nuts of your choice. I would NOT suggest peanuts. You may like candied fruit and dates in place of cherries, raisin and craisins that I added. Craisins were a complete and wonderful accident. I had every intention of using only raisins. I only had 1/2 lb of raisins in the house and a pound and 1/2 of craisins. The craisins were a wonderful addition to what I was attempting!
• 2. Meanwhile, in a 2-quart sauce pan, stirring constantly, heat milk and marshmallows together until marshmallows are melted; remove from heat and add bourbon. NOTE: I used a double boiler.
• 3. Pour milk mixture over dry mixture. Mix well with hands. NOTE: If mixture is too loose, add more cracker crumbs. If too dry, add more liquid; milk or juice. I would not add more bourbon.
• 4. Divide the mixture into 8 to 10 balls. Somewhat shape into logs. Wrap in plastic wrap and using hands continue to shape into tight logs. The size roll should be the size you would like to slice and serve as a cookie.
• 5. Tighten the plastic wrap and refrigerate for 24 hours. Slice and serve. Keep refrigerated.
• 6. NOTE: If you perfer loaf pans over a roll, spray 8 to 10 mini loaf pans with PAM and pack mixture in pans. NOTE: You can also roll these rolls in coconut flakes, powdered sugar or chopped nuts for a final touch. ENJOY!!

BIG EARL'S EASY ICEBOX FRUITCAKE

Steps:

• 1. Line two 9 x 5 inch loaf pan with plastic wrap, allowing wrap to hang over edges 3 or 4 inches.
• 2. In a large bowl, finely crush the graham crackers, then add the red and green cherries, candied fruit, and pecans.
• 3. Melt butter in a double boiler. Cool slightly. Add sweetened condensed milk, marshmallows, and bourbon (or wine), stir well. Pour this over the crackers and fruit. Mix well. The mixture should be very thick and moistened thoroughly. Pack mixture tightly into the lined pan making sure no air bubbles are trapped in the loaf. Garnish top with pecan and cherry halves. Cover tightly with the plastic wrap.
• 4. Allow to age in the refrigerator for at least 3-4 weeks or longer (the longer the better the flavor). The flavors will have a chance to blend and all of the liquids will be absorbed into the cake. I have keep them in the refrigerator for over two years and enjoyed a slice of fruitcake every once in a while all year long. After they have molded to the shape of the loaf pan (3 to 4 weeks) they may be removed from the pans for long term storage.
• 5. Note 1: I use a 32 ounce (2 pound) container of mixed candied fruit. I hold out enough of the red and green maraschino cherries (cut in half) and pecan halves to garnish the top of the fruitcakes, the rest of the cherries and pecans are cut up in the cake.
• 6. Note 2: 2 cup sweet wine (grape, blackberry or any flavor you desire) may be substituted for the bourbon or they both may be left completely out.
