Southern Fruit Cake

It is better to make them at least a month before you need them so they can be aged. We wrap them in cheese cloth and drizzle with Bourbon weekly under a covered cake dish. If you don't want to age them they can be served immediately.

Ingredients:

• 1 pound chopped candied cherries
• 1 pound chopped candied pineapple
• 4 cups chopped pecans
• 2 cups self rising flour
• 2 sticks butter (room temperature)
• 1 cup sugar
• 4 eggs (room temperature)
• 1 Tbsp vanilla flavoring
• 1 Tbsp lemon flavoring

Preheat oven 300°.

In a large bowl, mix together cherries, pineapples and pecans.

Sift flour over the above mixture and stir gently until well mixed.

In a second bowl cream the butter and add sugar. Mix well.

To second bowl add eggs and flavorings. Mix.

Add second mixture to first mixture and mix well.
