I am posting this recipe for safe keeping. My grandma just passed away and this is my favorite recipe of hers. She always made it at Christmas time. I think it is better if it sits for a day or so to let the flavors blend. Ingredients:
2 cups raisins |
2 cups applesauce |
4 tablespoons melted butter |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2 teaspoons cinnamon |
2 teaspoons nutmeg |
2 teaspoons allspice |
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
2 teaspoons baking soda |
2 cups sugar |
1 cup walnuts, chopped (any kind of nut meat will work) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
2. Prepare a tube pan.
3. Put raisins in a 1 quart pan and cover with water.
4. Cook until almost dry.
5. Meanwhile, combine dry ingredients.
6. When raisins are done mix into dry ingredients with applesauce and melted butter.
7. Bake in prepared tube pan for 1 1/2 hours.
