This is my own recipe and it's a family favorite. The mixture of fruits and nuts helps make it a tasty treat. Ingredients:
3 cups whole red and green candied cherries |
3 cups diced candied pineapple |
1 package (1 pound) shelled walnuts |
1 package (10 ounces) golden raisins |
1 cup shortening |
1 cup sugar |
5 eggs |
4 tablespoons vanilla extract |
3 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
3 teaspoons baking powder |
1 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 300°. In a large bowl, combine cherries, pineapple, walnuts and raisins; set aside.
2. In another large bowl, cream shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Combine flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture and mix well. Pour over fruit mixture and stir to coat.
3. Transfer to a greased and floured 10-in. tube pan. Bake 2 hours or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
4. Wrap tightly and store in a cool place. Slice with a serrated knife; bring to room temperature before serving. Yield: 16 servings.
