Field editor Rosella Peters of Gull Lake, Saskatchewan notes, I often mark recipes with 'G' for good, 'VG' for very good; this seasonal favorite is marked 'VVG'! I usually double the recipe.
Ingredients:
1/3 cup butter, melted
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup chopped candied pineapple or red and green candies cherries
2 tablespoons chopped blanched almonds
1-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugars until combined. Beat in egg and vanilla. Stir in pineapple and almonds. Combine dry ingredients; gradually add to butter mixture and mix well. Transfer to a foil-lined 8-in. x 4-in. loaf pan. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
2. Invert dough onto a cutting board; remove foil. Cut into 1/4-in. slices; place on greased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on wire racks. Yield: about 2-1/2 dozen.
