I know there aren't a lot of Fruitcake fans, however, I happen to be one! This recipe is simple and delicious. It's not overly sweet like most are. It has no additional sugar or sugary Citron and Candied Fruit like a lot of them do.
I say, give it a try and see what you think. It may change your mind about Fruitcake.
It can be frozen and thawed at room temperature. I make them ahead of time and freeze them for the Holidays.
4 C Chopped Dates
2 C Chopped Pecans

Pecans
