This is a wonderful no-bake holiday cake. It is expensive to make, but it is rich & you only need a thin slice for a serving. It freezes well & it is nice to have in the freezer for unexpected company. I make it ahead, freeze, slice & put back in the freezer. It is really rich, you only need a little piece.
No Bake Fruit Cake (no candied fruit) 1 box vanilla wafer cookies -- crushed 1 can sweetened condensed milk 1 box raisins 1 pkg. coconut (7 or 12 oz.) 1 jar maraschino cherries, red -- drained, save juice 12 oz. walnuts, (one bag) -- chopped 2 teaspoons vanilla 1/2 teaspoon rum extract -- to 1 teaspoon Set aside the cherry juice. Mix all ingredients very well, hands work best. You may need to use some cherry juice to add a little moisture. Dough should be very stiff, it is not baked. Pack into a buttered bundt pan and freeze. Slice with an electric knife into thin pieces. Freeze any not used. Makes probably 24 or more slices. Cake is very rich and you only need a little. Green and red cherries may both be used to give it more of a holiday look.
