We have been making an unusual type of unbaked fruitcake for many years. It
combines all sorts of dried fruits and nuts, butter, bread crumbs, graham
cracker crumbs, and a few other ingredients I don't recall at the moment.
Everything is ground in a hand meat grinder, mixed well, allowed to set at
room temperature overnight, then packed into pans lined with waxed paper.
The result is a unique confection, to say the least and will keep for more
than a year in the refrigerator. It's usually best if made a month or so
before Christmas to give the flavors time to meld.
