1 c. sugar
1 egg beaten
1 tsp. vanilla
3/4 c. melted shortening
2 c. flour, sifted
2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. ground cloves
1 1/2 c. applesauce
3/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/8 tsp. salt
1 c. raisins
1/2 c. chopped walnuts

Blend together sugar, egg, vanilla, shortening, and applesauce until smooth. Sift together flour, baking soda, spices, and salt. Add raisins and nuts. Combine mixtures and blend well.

Pour batter into a well greased loaf pan and bake slowly in a 375 degree oven for about 1 hour.

NOTE: Bake longer than 1 hour if baking in 1 large pan; 2 small loaf tins, 1 hour is enough.
