Using mixer, combine eggs, butter, sugar, lemon extract, 3 cups flour, soda, and salt; mix until well blended. Combine fruit, pecans, and 1 cup flour. Add mixture to batter, and, using a spoon, blend well. Pour into a greased pan and bake at 325º for two hours.
The cook says, “This recipe has always been in my family, and we all enjoy it every Christmas. I have no idea where it came from. People who never eat fruitcake love this one. It’s always fun to serve it to a ‘fruitcake-hater’ and watch them smile.”
