Add the dry ingredients alternately with the milk, beating well after each addition.

Combine the walnuts, raisins, pineapple, candied cherries, lemon rind and the ¼ cup of reserved flour mixture until all are very well coated.

Stir into the batter.

Spread the batter in a greased and wax-paper lined 10-inch tube pan.

Bake in a 275 degree F.

Cool in the pan for 30 minutes before removing to a wire rack to completely cool.

When ready to serve or to make a gift of it, prepare the Pineapple glaze, and frost the top of the cake, letting the glaze drip down the sides.

Decorate with the pecan halves.

Makes one 5 lb fruit cake.
