flour a 10-inch tube pan; set aside. In a large bowl, beat the butter
and brown sugar with an electric mixer on medium, until well blended.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat
in the cheddar cheese. Sift the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon
and cloves into a medium bowl. In another medium bowl, combine the
dates, pecans, cherries and raisins. Add 2 Tbls of the flour mixture,
tossing lightly to coat the fruit and nuts. Alternately beat the
remaining flour mixture and milk into the butter mixture until well
blended. Stir in the floured fruit mixture by hand until distributed
throughout the batter. Turn into the prepared pan. Bake for 2 to 2

of the pan and the top springs back when lightly pressed. Cool for 15
minutes in the pan on a wire rack then remove from the pan. Cool
completely on the wire rack. When cool, store in a container with a
tight lid for up to 6 weeks. To serve, cut into thin slices.
