["In a large bowl using an electric mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until it is light and fluffy. Add the lemon zest and juice and the vanilla extract; mix well. Add the flour and mix to combine. Mix in dried cherries, cranberries, raisins, pumpkin seeds, pistachios, and cashews. (Note: This fruit and nut combination is based on what I had on hand but feel free to change and add any dried fruit or nuts that are your favorite.)", "Divide the dough into 2 equal parts. On a lightly floured surface, roll each section of dough into a log measuring about 8\" long and 1-1/2\"" in diameter. Wrap each log in plastic wrap and refrigerate for several hours or until the dough is firm. The dough logs can also be frozen at this point
