Ice Box Fruitcake
3 cups chopped pecans
8 large marshmallows
14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
12 oz. box vanilla wafers, crushed
1 cup coconut
10 candied cherries, chopped
1/8 lb. candied pineapple, chopped raisins, if desired
Wine, if desired

Combine crushed wafers, coconut, chopped cherries, pecans and pineapple
and place in a large bowl. Mix well. Also add raisins, if desired. Melt
marshmallows in top of double boiler. Add milk to melted marshmallows
and mix well. Remove from heat and pour into wafer mixture. Mix well.
If desired, pour 1/4 to 1/2 cup of any good sweet wine (scuppernong,
blackberry, pear, etc). When cool enough to handle, form into "logs"
and wrap in waxed paper. Chill at least 24 hours before serving -- the
longer the chilling the better.
Best served cold. Can be made 2 weeks in advance.
