Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 cup fruit sugar
  • 4 large eggs (or 5 medium eggs)
  • 2 34 cups flour
  • 12 teaspoon baking powder
  • 12 teaspoon salt
  • 1 lb bleached sultana raisins
  • 14 lb citrus peel
  • 1 slice green candied pineapple
  • 12 lb candied red cherries
  • 1 lemon, juice and rind of

Instructions

  1. Cream butter and sugar; add eggs, one at a time, beating very thoroughly after each.
  2. Put one cup of the flour on fruit (I guess it is assumed that you knew you had to cut the pineapple ring up); stir.
  3. Beat remaining flour into butter/egg mixture; then add lemon juice and rind (I'm guessing you would chop it first, or have it as zest; Mrs. Allingham didn't say).
  4. Stir fruit mixture inches.
  5. Bake at 250 degrees for 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
  6. Note: this is how the recipe is worded; my guess is that the batter should go into greased and floured pans, or even pans lined with buttered brown paper.
