Christmas Fruit Cake
12 large eggs
13/4 lb. seedless raisins
1 lb. currants
1/2 lb. butter
1/2 lb. shortening
2 lb. brown sugar
1 tbsp. vanilla extract
1 tbsp. almond extract
V2 cup molasses
Y2 cup purple grape juice
2 tsp. cinnamon
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. nutmeg
3 oz. navy rum ( optional)
10 oz. peel
6 oz. red cherries
4 oz. green cherries
10 oz. mixed fruit
8 oz. candied pineapple
41/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 tsp. ground cloves
Prepare 4 bread pans by lining them with greased
aluminum foil. Wash and dry raisins and currants. Warm
butter and shortening to room temperature to facilitate
mixing.
Beat butter and shortening thoroughly, add sugar a bit
at a time. Blend in extracts and eggs. Add grape juice and
rum.
Add sifted dry ingredients to the fruit and raisins. Stir
this dry so that all fruit is coated well. Now add egg -butter
mixture to coated fruit and combine thoroughly. Batter
must be very thick to prevent fruit from settling out.
Fill pans about 3/4 full and bake at 275 degrees F. for 2 to
4 hours. Cake is done when an inserted toothpick comes
out dry. Place a dish of water in bottom of oven after first
hour of cooking.
Cool cake in pans on a rack and when cool, wrap tightly
with foil and age cake at least a month in a tightly covered
kettle in a cool place.
