Divide the batter among 3 greased loaf pans approximately 8- by 4- by 3-inches each. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove to a cooling rack. When cool enough to handle remove the loaves from the pans and cool completely on the rack. Wrap in plastic and keep in the refrigerator. This recipe makes three 2-pound loaves. Comments: This is my mother”s recipe and is much better than those dark, heavy fruitcakes you”re probably used to. Incidentally, all her grandchildren have always called my mother Gram.
