16. Fruitcake is the easiest thing in the world to make, but the good ingred

ients are expensive. The oldsters used to crack pecans for a month in order to do the Thanksgiving and Christmas sweets. Now, just buy a couple of pounds of very fresh crop pecans when they are picked in the Fall, and pm me and I will send you Aunt Myrtle's recipe which is a big swoon. I even put dates, apricots, raisins and currants in instead of the dried up citronella and garish cherries. Put a few cherries just for color. The oldsters didn't like to make fruitcake because of the effort of nut-cracking and expensive fruit. Put about 7 dollars into ingredients and you will have a wonderful snack.
