Am looking for a refrigerator fruit cake recipe.  
Ingredients are graham crackers, candied cherries, marshmallows, and FIGS.   
My late grandmother made this each Christmas.  None of her offspring have 
the complete recipe.  Can you help?   Thanks!

Hi Vickie,

I found dozens of refrigerator fruit cake recipes, but only the three below with figs. I hope one of them works for you.
