Cherry Walnut Fruitcake

• 2 cups dried cherries
• 2 cups pitted dates, chopped
• 1 cup cream sherry
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup light brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 cups walnuts, chopped
• 1 egg
• 2 egg whites

1. Preheat the oven to 300u0b0F.
2. Lightly spray or wipe four 3x6x2 inch loaf pans with vegetable oil. (I used muffin cups which worked out great).
3. In a large bowl, combine cherries, dates, and 1/2 cup sherry; set aside for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. In a separate large bowl, mix flour, sugar, and baking powder. Add the nuts. Add the egg and egg whites. Mix well.
5. Stir the flour mixture into the fruit mixture. Place 1 cup of batter into each loaf pan.
6. Bake for 1 hour, or until golden brown.
7. Remove from oven and immediately pour the remaining sherry over the loaves.
8. Keep in a tin, well wrapped with plastic wrap, for up to two weeks.
