On Fri, 02 Dec 2005 15:15:36 GMT, "kilikini" I'd use thyme. :-) Here's a non-soup recipe for future reference. * Exported from...

I was recently given a folder full of recipes that belonged to my mother-in-law. She pbutted away more than 15 years ago (long before I was in the family)

I have one recipe that is written on an envelope that has no name....

Can anyone identify this? Looks like a fruit cake to me sort of...it actually looks rather scary.

1 Pkg Dates 1 med sized bottle marchainone cherries (think that is misspelled lol) 3 pounds nuts (1 English walnuts, 2 pecans)

1 pound brown sugar 10 eggs 1 pound butter

I just usually boil some chopped taters until they're done but not too soft, make a medium or light bechamel sauce (I use the recipes from an old Betty Crocker cookbook) and soften some...

*combine the sugar, eggs, butter in mixer

1-2 tsp cinnamon 2 tsp each nutmeg allspice cloves 1 tsp each vanilla lemon almond 1 med jar strawberry preserves 1 med jar orange marmalade 1 box white raisins 1 pound preserved pineapple 1 pound preserved cherries 1-4 pounds citran ? 1-4 pound lemon pine ???? 1-4 pound orange pine?? 1 can crushed pineapple 4 cups self rising flour

Pour mixture in tube pan that has been greased and lined with was paper and greased again. Start baking at 225 for 1 hour and then increase heat to 350. Bake for about 3-3 1-2 hours.

Makes about 12 pounds..

Any ideas? Does this sound good to anyone?? There is some scary stuff in this folder - I am just really curious as to what on earth lemon pine is - at first I though lemon zest - but a 1-4 pound would be a LOT of zest.
