Milford Cake Good
Dear Aunt Daisy, Listening to your session the other morning, I heard you give a recipe from Milford for fruit cake with glycerinethe one in which you boil the fruit for 10 minutes. Well, I tried it, and also
another one, a wedding cake, as my daughter is being married in November, and I was "practising." So I must tell the Milford correspondent that we all voted for her boiled fruit method, a .ovely moist fruit cake. I’m going to add a little extra fruit, cherries and nuts.

Thank you for letting us know. Also thanks to the Wellington Link in our Daisy Chain who sent in a fruit cake recipe very similar in method. Here it is: Bring to the boil, in a large saticepan, 2 cups water, 4 Ib. peel, 1 teaspoon mixed spice and mace, 2 is brown sugar, 2 teaspoons baking soda, 2 lb. mixed fruit, Y2 Ib. butter. Let cool. Add 4 cups flour, 1’ tablespoon glycerine, 1 teaspoon baking powder, essences as desired and then 2 well-beaten eggs. Bake approximately 3 hours in a large tin.
