    1 1/2  c.            flour
    1      c.            candied cherries
    1 1/2  t.            baking powder
    2      c.            walnuts
      1/4  t.            salt
    1      c.            chocolate chips
    1      c.            pitted dates
    3                    eggs
    1      c.            sugar
 
 Sift flour, baking powder and salt.  Cut dates in large chunks, slice cherries in
half, chop nuts.  Mix together fruits, nuts and chocolate chips.
 Beat eggs until foamy.	Add sugar gradually and continue beating until smooth and
light.	Stir in flour mixture, then fruit mixture.  Pour into loaf pan 9x5 which
has been lined with greased wax paper, bake 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours in 325 degree
oven.  Cool in pan for 30 minutes, remove from pany, peel off paper and cool
completely.  Wrap in foil and refrigerate or freeze.  Can use sherry/brandy and
pour a little (or a lot) over cake before wrapping with foil...Improves flavor
(or the disposition of the one who eats the fruitcake!)
