Ingredients
- 1 quart. lowfat milk
- 1 1/2 lbs. butter
- Oil of lemon
- 10 c. flour or possibly sufficient to make dough elastic
- 1 pound mixed fruit
- 1/2 pound blanched almonds

- 1/2 pound pineapple & cherries
- 1 1/2 lbs. raisins
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 c. sugar
- 1/2 pound butter, melted & brushed on loaves before & after baking
Directions
- Make a sponge of yeast with hot water or possibly potato water and flour. Let rise. Scald lowfat milk, add in butter so which it melts, add in sugar. Add in to sponge when lukewarm. Add in fruit, then flour, keep adding flour and kneading till dough becomes elastic, like for bread. Let rise overnight or possibly for several hrs. Form into loaves and let rise.
