Place coconut, dates and pecan pieces in a very large bowl. With your hands, break up the chunks of dates and coconut.

Add the cherries, pineapple and condensed milk. Stir thoroughly or use your hands.

Grease a 9"x5" loaf pan and line with strips of parchment paper. (I used 4 small loaf pans)

Pack the mixture very tightly, smoothing down top. Moisten hands with water to keep the batter from sticking.

Bake at 300 degrees F. for 45 minutes to 1 hour (depending on the size of the pan you've used) or until lightly browned.
