pecan fruit cake
My children asked for this fruit cake every year since I got the recipe in 1980. They are all adults and still ask for it at Christmas. Everyone likes this even those who don't like Fruit Cake (I am one of them). Easy to make and I am sure it gets better as it sits wrapped up.

5Note: This year I used 2 loaf pans and sprayed them with Pam and when I brought them out of the oven I set them on hot pads for 5-10 mins to loosen the bottom and ran a knife around the side. It worked well.
