Add a photoThis dark fruit cake recipe has been in our family for over 50 years. Very moist and delicious. It can be frozen if well wrapped for several months. I often make this in small pans and wrap for addition to Christmas baskets.

- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 cup butter

- 2 cups white sugar
- 1 lb raisins
- 1/2 lb currents
- 1 cup walnuts or pecans - broken
- 1 cup dried dates - cut in 4 pieces
- 1 cup glazed cherries

- Add all ingredients into a large pot and boil for 2 minutes mixing well.

- 3 1/2 cups white flour
