1 lb. butter
6 eggs, separated
2 c. white sugar
1 1/2 to 2 oz. pure lemon extract
4 c. plain flour (use part of this to flour fruit)
1/2 lb. red candied cherries, chopped
1/2 lb. green candied cherries, chopped
1/2 lb. red candied pineapple, chopped
1/2 lb. green candied pineapple, chopped
1 1/2 c. chopped pecans

Cream sugar and butter. Add beaten egg yolks, then lemon, then flour. Add floured fruit and nuts. Fold in stiffly beaten egg whites. Grease and flour large tube pan. Bake at 275 degrees for 1 hour and 45 minutes. Test with broom straw for doneness. Cool completely before removing from pan. (I usually don't do this but that's what the directions said.)
