I don’t know if this is a regional dish or what … but NO ONE I talk to seems to have ever heard of it except the people in my family… and most people act like it’s sooooo ODD … but it’s really yummy and it’s really simple common ingredients …

Directions
- In a medium bowl, stir together the pecans, raisins, walnuts, cherries, condensed milk and vanilla wafers. Dough will be very thick, you will need to use your hands.
- Form dough into a ring shape on top of a dinner plate. Wrap in many layers of plastic wrap and/or aluminum foil. Allow to age in the refrigerator for at least a week. The flavors will have a chance to blend and all of the milk will be absorbed into the cake.
