White Fruit Cake
1/2 cup Butter
1 cup Sugar
5 Eggs
2 cup Flour
1 dash Salt
1/2 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 lb Red Candied Cherries
1/2 lb Green Candied Cherries
1 lb Candied Pineapple, (mix colors if possi
2 cup Pecans, chopped
1 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
1 1/2 tsp Lemon Extract
Cream butter & sugar together. Add eggs, mixing well. Cut up
cherries. pineapple & pecans. Using the 2 cups flour called for
in the recipe, coat cherries, pineapple & pecans lightly with
flour. (I throw them in a zip-lock bag about 3/4 cup at a time &
shake them really good.) Make sure you use a portion of the
flour called for. Adding extra flour makes the cake dry. Coating
the fruit & nuts allows it to mix throughout the cake evenly. Sift
together dry ingredients & add to creamed mixture. Add
cherries, pineapple, pecans, vanilla & lemon to batter. (It
should have the appearance of just enought batter to coat
everything really well. It's really just enough cake to hold
everything together.) Mix well & bake in a greased tube pan
for 2 1/2 hours at 250 degrees F until just lightly browned.
Allow to cool. Remove from pan.
I try to make several of these in late Sep or early Oct. I wrap
them, sometimes in plastic wrap, sometimes in cheese cloth &
store them in an air tight container. After about 2 weeks, I
check the cakes to make sure they are mellowing & becoming
moister. Sometimes I have been known to add some type of
alcoholic beverage (rum, brandy, cognac whatevers extra
around here)
Even people who don't like *regular fruitcake* tend to like this.
I don't like the kind with raisins & candied peel in it, but this is
really good. If you want to really be decadent & blow a week's
worth of cholesterol, make some Southern boiled egg custard
& mix the custard & pieces of cake together in a bowl. Truly
Southern Christmas at its best!

Advice on losing weight
If you enjoy your food, but need to drop a dress size and also enhance your all round wellbeing, then you should decide on a carefully calculated healthy-minded weight loss system. In a perfect world, this should involve 5 measures of fruit/vegetables on a daily basis and also include a sensible mixture of fat, carbs and proteins.
When starting a weight loss program, dieters often direct their attention on food store and well known products claiming to be 'low-fat'. This is most certainly wrong, seeing as how a food product may well be low in fats, but whilst still remaining contain far too much calories and carbohydrates.
When deciding on a meal plan, it is important to make sure you cut back on your intake of fat, salt and refined carbohydrates.
