Cream shortening, sugar; add eggs. Mix well. Add flavorings and salt. Sift flour again and add alternating with buttermilk. Mix soda and vinegar in small bowl, and then add to mixture above. Blend well. Fold in crushed candy. You can add red food color here by pulling a knife through batter a few times to look "swirled." Pour in tube pan that has been greased and floured or sprayed with JOY. Bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour and 10 minutes or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Do not over bake.
