Recipe Introduction


This sounds like the recipe. I hope it is as I'm intrigued. I'm going to make it as soon as I find out how much a quart of pecans is.


List of Ingredients




1 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3 eggs, seperated
3 cups all-purpose flour, divided
1/2 lb candied cherries, finely chopped
1/2 lb candied pineapple, finely chopped
1/2 lb white raisins
1 quart shelled pecans, finely chopped
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda, dissolved in a little water


Recipe




Cream butter, add sugar, then beaten egg yolks. Sprinkle some of the flour over the fruit and pecans. Add spices and salt to remaining flour.
Combine butter, fruit and flour mixtures. Add vanilla extract and baking soda.
Beat egg whites until stiff and fold inches Drop scant teaspoonsful on greased cookie sheet and bake at 350 F for 10 - 15 minutes. Batter may be prepared several weeks ahead. Freezes well before and after baking.
