Directions: |
Directions:Combine sugar and shortening. Sift together dry ingredients. Add to sugar mixture. Stir in applesauce with soda mixed in. Add nuts, mixed candied fruits, chocolate chips, nuts, and raisins. (I use 1 -2 lbs Mixed candied fruit per batch.) Spoon into greased pans. Bake- use toothpick test for doneness. Bake at 375º F for 1- 1½ hours. Less time is needed when filled with all that fruit. Cool and freeze. BEST after it has aged for a month or two. I have even had it in freezer for over a year and the flavor has seemed unaffected except to intensify and be better!
