5 c White raisins 4 1/2 c Sifted flour
2 c Chopped dried white figs 3 ts Baking powder

Combine fruit juice and spices; mix and pour over combined fruit. Add
marmalade and mix well. Cover and let stand overnight. Sift flour,
baking powder and salt together. Cream shortening and sugar until

greased brown paper. Smooth tops and decorate if desired. Bake in a
275 degree oven for 3 3/4 to 4 hours. Test with a toothpick before
removing from oven. May be used as soon as cool or ripened. Baked
weight should be about 9 3/4 pounds. Randy Rigg
