1 pounds Candied pineapple; cut up

Put fruit & nuts in large bowl. (Save out a few whole cherries & pineapple to put on top of cake.) Sift in flour, salt & sugar. Mix well. Stir in beaten egg whites, then egg yolks. Add vanilla. Mix well. Pour into greased angel food cake pan that has had bottom lined with brown (sack) paper. Bake 1-½ hours at 300. Leave in oven until cool.
