1/2 lb candied red cherries (1 1/2 cups cut in quarters)
1/2 lb candied pineapple (1 Cup) coarsely chopped
1/2 lb pitted dates (1 1/2 cups), coarsely snipped
1 Tbsp all purpose flour
1 1/3 cups or 1 lb chopped, shelled pecans
1 can sweetened condensed milk

Preheat oven to 250°. Grease and flour 9 X 3-inch tube pan with removable bottom. Combine cherries, pineapple, and dates in a very large bowl. Sprinkle with flour; toss to coat well. Add sweetened condensed milk; stir to mix well. Spoon evenly into prepared pan, smoothing the top. Bake in preheated, slow oven for 1 1/2 hours. Cool in pan on rack. Remove from pan and wrap tightly in foil. Refrigerate at least 2 weeks. Slice very thin; slices best when cold.
