wow! i still can't get over the fact how a box of date quick bread was the base for such a tasty fruitcake! my candied fruit selection consisted of 8 oz. each: cherries, pineapple & a mixed variety. the fruitcake baked up perfectly in a 10" tube pan & was done in 85 minutes. thanks diane, i made your yummy recipe 5 days ago & we're still nibbling away.....

To me, this is a ringer for Claxton's brand! For the fruit I used 8 oz pineapple, 8 oz cherries and 8 oz classic mixed candied fruit. I also added walnuts. I split it between 4 prepared loaf pans and pressed down to fill the corners. Baked for about 50 min. Delightful!

Quick, easy, and good! I've never made fruitcake before because of the time involved with other recipes! Next time I will dredge my raisins in flour first as they seemed to sink when it baked. I made it in 2 loaf pans lined with parchment paper, and cut the baking time to about 50 minutes- worked great!
