FRUIT CAKE

A handsome and rich fruit cake is usually the accepted cake for weddings and anniversaries. In the days of long ago the young women of the household delighted to show their skill in the making and baking of this queen of cakes. In those days folks felt that it was an indispensable feature of the feast, and the reveler of to-day holds it in equal esteem as did his grandad before him. Here is an old and treasured recipe:

Place one glass of spiced jam in a bowl and add

One tablespoon of cocoa,

One teaspoon of cinnamon,

One-half teaspoon of nutmeg,

Two tablespoons of vanilla extract.
