Recipe Introduction


These can be made with store bought candied fruit but since it's easy and tastes amazing with homemade candied fruit I wouldn't advise it.





List of Ingredients



• 1 C. raisins, golden are prettier
  
• 1 C. candied cherries
  
• 1 C. candied pineapples
  
• 1 C. nuts, chopped, pecans or mixed
  
• 1/2 C. dates, chopped
  
• 1/2 C. all-purp. flour
  
• 1/2 C. golden Crisco
  
• 3/4 C. sugar
  
• 1 egg
  
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  
• 1/2 tsp. almond extract
  
• 3/4 C. all-purp. flour
  
• 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  
• 1/2 tsp. salt
  






Instructions



1. Fruit, nuts and dates into a bowl with 1/2 cup flour. Mix to coat and set aside.
   
2. Cream together Crisco and sugar. Add egg and extracts and mix till smooth.
   
3. Combine, 3/4 cup flour, baking soda and salt.
   
4. Stir fruit and flour mixture into creamed mixture.
   
5. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 10-12 minutes. Cool on racks.
   
6. Once cooled you can make a drizzle and drizzle them but it's not really needed.
