No Bake Holiday Fruitcake
Ingredients
An empty paperboard milk carton
4 C. pound cake crumbs (an 11 1/4 ounce cake)
1 1/2 C. miniature marshmallows
1 1/4 C. cut-up mixed, candied fruits
1 C. seedless raisins
3/4 C. finely cut dates
3/4 C. chopped walnuts
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp. cloves
1/3 C. milk
2 Tbsp. frozen orange juice concentrate, undiluted
Cooking Instructions
Rinse out the milk carton, and let it dry. Cut out one side of the carton; set the carton on its side so as to form a pan and place the cutout piece in the bottom of the pan to make a sliding, removable base for the cake. Flatten the pouring end of the carton and secure it with tape. Break the pound cake into crumbs by hand or in a blender. In a large bowl, combine the pound cake crumbs with the marshmallows, fruits, nuts and spices. Add the milk and orange juice concentrate, mixing with a spoon, then with your hands, until the crumbs are thoroughly moistened. Pack the mixture into the prepared milk carton. If you wish, garnish with additional fruits and nuts. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least two days before slicing it.
