1 c. sugar
1 c. self-rising flour
1 1/2 (8 oz.) pkg. dates, chopped
1 (8 oz.) pkg. candied cherries, chopped
4 c. pecans, chopped
3 eggs

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Grease (do not flour) miniature tins. Blend sugar and flour, add dates, cherries and pecans. Beat eggs until foamy. Add eggs to mixture. Pour batter into muffin tins. Use 1 tablespoon butter for each muffin. Do not pack down. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Cool before removing from tins. Yield: 5 to 7 dozen miniature cakes.

These make nice Christmas gifts packed in decorative tins or baskets.
