Fruitcake Squares

By BDDarren

Ingredients

• 1-1 1/2 cups light brown sugar, not packed
• 1 stick margarine
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup all-purpose flour, unsifted
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 pound candied red cherries, cut*
• 1/2 pound candied pineapple, cut*
• 2 cups pecans, chopped
• I use a candied cherry/pineapple mix

Preparation

Step 1

Cream margarine and brown sugar. Add eggs and beat well. Mix in flour, then vanilla and cinnamon. Stir in cherries, pineapple and pecans.

Pour into a well greased and floured 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking dish. Bake in a 300F oven about one (1) hour. Check several times the last 15 minutes to prevent over cooking. Cook completely before cutting into squares. Store in a tightly covered container.
