No bake fruitcake recipe with rum?

No-Bake Fruitcake

fruits and nuts:

16 oz. candied pineapple

16 oz. candied cherries

8 oz. candied citron

8 oz. chopped dates (or whole dates and you chop them; remove pits)

1 15-oz. box raisins (approximate weight; an ounce or two one way or the other doesn't matter)

1 15-oz. box golden raisins (ditto)

1 10-oz. box currants (ditto)

12 oz. chopped walnuts (ditto)

8 oz. chopped pecans or -blanched- slivered almonds, or a combination (ditto)

liquids:

1/2 c molasses

1/2 c strawberry preserves

2 T frozen orange juice concentrate

1 12-oz. can evaporated milk (non-fat is ok)

dry ingredients:

l lb. graham crackers

1 t ground cinnamon

1/2 t ground nutmeg

Put fruits (and their syrup) and nuts into a big bowl (I use a big salad bowl; a stock pot would also work; Mama used a dishpan.) and break up any stuck-together clumps. Use your hands.

Put the graham crackers in the food processor, one inner-seal package at a time, and process until they are ground as finely as flour. No lumps! Dump into another bowl. Add spices and mix.

Pour the dry ingredients on the fruit and "toss" so the fruit pieces are dusted on all sides. Again, use your hands. Pour on liquids and mix well (with hands) until no dry graham cracker powder remains. If needed, add more liquid (evaporated milk, orange juice concentrate, or jam).

Pack into prepared tins, pressing firmly. Don't worry; it will all fit even though it seems the tins will be too small. The cake will be sticky, but all the moisture will be absorbed.

Refrigerate 2 days and then start dousing with rum or brandy. Omit the booze if you prefer. Store in refrigerator.

This sounds like what you were describing.

Hope this helps!

Graham Cracker Fruit Cake

I use rum or brandy and in a pinch I have used Bourbon or Canadian whiskey, I make my fruitcakes in a few weeks, then every week before Xmas, I paint them with a sugar syrup and the booze i it, sealing them back up in a plastic wrap and brown butcher paper bundle, I have had to stop mailing them to friend and relatives, as here in Canada I can without putting a flammable or bio-hazard sticker on the boxes.
