Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 cup Shredded coconut
1 cup Sliced citron
1 cup Raisins
1 cup Chopped candied pineapple
1 cup Candied cherries, sliced
2 cups Blanched almonds, chopped
3 cups Sifted flour
1 teaspoon Baking powder
1 cup Shortening
2 cups Sugar
1 tablespoon Vanilla
½ cup Fruit sirup
8 Egg whites

Directions

Combine first 6 ingredients with 1 cup of the flour. Sift remaining flour with baking powder. Cream shortening with sugar and flavoring until fluffy. Add sifted dry ingredients and fruit sirup alternately in small amounts, beating well after each addition. Add fruit mixture. Beat egg whites until stiff but not dry and fold into batter. Pour into greased pans lined with heavy greased paper and bake in a 275 degree oven for 4 hours. This recipe makes 5 pounds of fruitcake. Personally I hate fruitcakes and think they are the ultimate in insults to give at Christmas but dad always liked them, so go figure. Randy Rigg Submitted By RANDY RIGG On 12-17-94
