Christmas Recipe : Brazil Nut Fruitcake Ingredients: 4 eggs 1/8 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 cup white sugar 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 pound red candied cherries 1 pound green candied cherries 1 pound Brazil nuts 1 pound walnut halves 1 pound pecan halves 2 pounds pitted dates Method : Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 3 - 8x4 inch loaf pans and line them with parchment or waxed paper. Beat eggs, salt and vanilla together until very light and lemon colored. Stir in sugar, 1 cup flour and baking powder. Place cherries, nuts, and dates into a large bowl. Dust with the remaining 1/2 cup flour. Then stir in sugar mixture. There is very little batter which makes this a very stiff mixture. Mix with hands. Press batter into prepared loaf pans. Bake for 1 hour.
