Yield 0 File under Cookies Brownies Bars
INGREDIENTS
1 cup margarine
1 1/2 cup sugar
1 tspn vanilla
3 eggs
3 cups all purpose flour
pinch salt
1 teaspoon soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nugmeg
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1 quart pecans
4 slices candied pineapple
1/2 lb candied cherries
1 and 1/2 boxes white raisins
1/2 box chopped dates (can use dark raisins if you don't have dates)
1 cup evaporated milk
1 teaspoon vinegar
INSTRUCTIONS
Chop fruits and nuts and toss with 1/2 cup of the flour. Coating the fruit with a little flour keeps it from sticking together.
Cream butter and sugar together. Add vanilla, then eggs one at a time.
Mix dry ingredients together and add to creamed butter, sugar, vanilla and egg mixture.
Alternately add milk and flour mixture to this.
Last, add vinegar
Drop by spoonfuls on a cookie sheet that has been greased with Pam and bake in a 300 degree oven for 20 minutes.
You can bake all at one time or refrigerate and bake a dozen at a time as needed. The baked ones can be frozen.
