A recipe for those that may like fruit cake

3 Cups unsweetened apple sauce

2 Cups Brown Sugar

1 Cup sweet butter or baking margarine

5 to 6 Cups Flour

2 Cups raisins

2 Cups chopped walnuts

1 7.5 oz container orange peel

1 7.5 oz container lemon peel

1 7.5 oz container citron peel

( and you need to also have the candied cherries if you can't find those use the fruit cake mix container and if it has the listed peel then you don't need to add more of those )

1 Teaspoon cloves

1 Teaspoon nutmeg

2 Teaspoons cinnamon

2 Teaspoons baking soda

2 Teaspoons baking powder

Preheat your oven to 300 degrees

Fill your bread pans about half full with the mixture ( grease and flour the pans )

Size of bread pans doesn't matter but may effect baking time

Bake 1 to 2 Hours

Cool a bit and remove from the pans

Once completely cooled wrap in foil and let set a couple of days then you can freeze if you like. Fruit cake should age for about a month before cutting, so this is a good time to do them to have them ready for X-mas

After we cut them do we use them for a door stop??? Just kidding. I for one happen to love fruit cake. Thanks for the recipe and the time you're putting in to do this for us.
