1/2 c. chopped raisins
1/2 c. chopped mixed candied fruits
1/3 c. sugar
2 tbsp. water
1 tbsp. lemon juice
1/2 c. flaked coconut
1 3/4 c. all-purpose flour
3 tbsp. sugar
2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
3/4 tsp. salt
1/3 c. shortening
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/3 c. light cream

Combine fruits, 1/3 cup sugar, water, lemon juice, and coconut in saucepan. Cook and stir over low heat until sugar is dissolved. Cool. Mix flour with 3 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in shortening. Add egg and cream, stirring to form soft dough. Turn onto lightly floured board and knead 20 times. Roll into an 18 x 8 x 1/4 inch rectangle. Spread filling evenly over dough, almost to edges. Roll as for jelly roll. Moisten edges and press together to seal. Form into a ring on greased baking sheet. Cut 2 inch slices with scissors on outer edge, almost through the ring. Turn slices, cut side up, overlapping edges. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes. Glaze and decorate, if desired. Serve warm.
