The Best Fruitcake Recipe In The World (We found the recipe, you decide..)

Fruitcake Ingredients:2 C raisins
1 chopped apple
2 C sugar
3/4 C shortening
2 C water
dash salt

Combine above ingredients and boil for 2 minutes.

Add:
1 ½ tsp. each of Cinnamon, Allspice, and Nutmeg. Remove from heat and add 1 tsp baking soda. Stir well. Allow to cool.

When mixture has completely cooled, add enough flour to make a medium batter (approx. 2 C)

Add:
2 beaten eggs,
1 C nuts, and any of the following you desire:
1 can chopped pineapple
1 large can Maraschino cherries
chopped dried apricots, figs, or dates
any other fresh or dried fruit you desire (I stay away from the candied stuff. It hurts my teeth and my tastebuds).
Bake in a greased and floured pan at 350 degrees. Loaf pans for 45 minutes, and angel food pans for 1 hr. 15 min. Allow to cool, slice and serve warm with butter, or as is.
