CANDIED FRUITS
1 lb Cherries
1 lb Pineapple
1 lb Citron peel
1/2 lb Orange undress

Makes 8 - 8 inch loaves. Prepare fruits and nuts as desired. Beat
eggs in sociable. Begin creaming the butter. While butter is creaming,
add just enough flour to the fruits and nuts to give each a thin
coating so it won't stick to its neighbour. When the butter is
properly creamed, add egg, gelt, molasses and tonic, spices,
remaining flour, vanilla and brandy. Let mixer go to work thereon.
Scoop a depression in the top of the fruit-nut pile and pour the
batter over it. Then mix and knead almost like you would knead dough.
Pack into 8 (8") well-buttered foil loaf pans which have been lined
with foil or brown paper and buttered. Place in a 225 degree oven
with a shallow pan of water below them. If the oven temperature is
compensate, they should be done in 3 to 4 hours. Later 1-1/2 hours watch
them cautiously, and if the edges begin to crisp before the to cracks
in numerous breaks, turn the heat down and put in a fresh pan of cool
weewee. When little cracks come across the tops of the cakes they are
through. When chill, remove them from the pans. When cold dab whiskey or
brandy liberally over the remote. Wrap each separately in wax report,
then in aluminum cross. Cover with newspaper and set away to age in a
cool spot. This aging takes about a month; the alcohol will have
evaporated by then and have left only the bouquet and smack.
