Title: PIONEER FRUIT CANDY
Categories: Candies
Yield: 1 Servings
-HGKS65A
1 lb Raisins
8 oz Dry figs
8 oz Dates, pitted
1 c Dry prunes, stones removed
1 Orange, juiced
Rind of 1 orange
1 c English walnuts, broken
Grind together the fruits and rind of orange.
Blend thoroughly with orange juice and walnut meats.
Shape into balls or flat bars. These candies should be allowed to stand
for 24 hours in order to "ripen". Descendants of the pioneers have found
that dipping these fruit candies in milk chocolate makes them exceptionally
tasty, as well as healthful.
From an old loose-leaf cookbook compiled by ladies in Malad, Idaho and
handed down to Kay from her maternal grandmother, Blodwyn Thorpe.
