Old Fashioned Fruit Cake #4
3/4 c Butter
1 c Sugar
1/2 c Molasses
1/2 c Grape juice
3/4 c Sour milk
1 c Blackberry jam
1 c Watermelon rind preserves
1 c Fig preserves
3 c Plain flour
4 c Pecans; chopped
2 ts Soda
8 Eggs
2 sm Raw apples; chopped
1/2 ts Salt (opt.)
1 cup Raisins
1/2 lb Candied pineapple
1 lb Candied cherries
4 ts Cocoa
Preparation : I added strawberries, peach and pear (about
1/2 cup of each). Mix the above, cook in a greased iron
skillet with wax paper lining, cook on 300 degrees. This
cake freezes well. My mother made 3 of the above cakes
shortly before Thanksgiving, one was cut for Thanksgiving,
one for Christmas and one for New Year's. They were placed
in a cupboard on the back porch. As we brought in the wood
for the night it was stocked on the porch near this old
cupboard.
My what an aroma! And the taste was there
too.
