Steps:
- Chop everything that needs chopping; put the cherries, pineapple, and dates in a mixing bowl. Sprinkle sugar over the fruit and lightly toss together to unstick the fruit. Coarsely break nuts into a separate bowl. Set aside. Coarsely break apart the graham crackers then pulse in a food processor until fine crumbs. (I did this in 3 batches). Pour crumbs into a large mixing bowl; add cinnamon and the sweetened condensed milk. Using a spoon or your hands, combine to form a stiff dough. Add remaining ingredients and knead them into the dough using your hands. Dump the mixture out onto a piece of Saran plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Firmly shape into a log about 3-4 inches in diameter. Roll up tightly and place in the freezer for about an hour before removing the wrap. To serve, cut into 1/2-inch slices with a sharp knife and arrange on a serving plate. Store covered in the refrigerator.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, stir together the pecans, raisins, walnuts, cherries, condensed milk and vanilla wafers. Dough will be very thick, you will need to use your hands.
- Form dough into a ring shape on top of a dinner plate. Wrap in many layers of plastic wrap and/or aluminum foil. Allow to age in the refrigerator for at least a week. The flavors will have a chance to blend and all of the milk will be absorbed into the cake.

CHRISTMAS FRUITCAKE
It's a shame that fruitcake as a species gets such a bad rap. With its two key ingredients--rum and butter--it ought to be a hit. This recipe includes dried fruit, instead of the glowing, candied stuff we've all learned to associate with fruitcake, and is less dense and more cake-like than many fruitcake recipes. It has become a favorite of my friends and family around the holidays (even the skeptical ones), and is delicious by itself, or covered with a layer of almond paste.

MAMMA'S ICEBOX FRUITCAKE
My family doesn't really like the traditional fruitcake, but will eat this like crazy. The thing I like most about it is that it freezes really good. You can make it a month in advance, freeze, defrost and serve later. Cook time is actually chill time.
