CHERRY FRUITCAKE
This fruitcake will not be bitter because it has no citron. I got it from a good friend's Mom in the 80's. When you slice it and hold it up to the light, there is very little cake, and it looks like stained glass. Many "fruitcake haters" have been won over by this cake.

PECAN DATE FRUITCAKE

DATE AND NUT CAKE WITH CHERRIES
My mom used to make a cake that contained dates, nuts and maraschino cherries. I don't have her exact recipe so I recreated it by substituting a similar recipe for a delicious date and nut cake and added maraschino cherries. (The basic cake recipe is adapted from Maida Heatter.) Note re maraschino cherries: Most of the brands available in the U.S. are an imitation of an Italian product and contain lots of preservatives. Trader Joe's sells a version of maraschino cherries without all the chemicals.
