1 cup butter
1 cup fruit sugar
4 large eggs (or 5 medium eggs)
2 ¾ cups flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 lb bleached sultana raisins
14 lb citrus peel
1 slice green candied pineapple

1
Cream butter and sugar; add eggs, one at a time, beating very thoroughly after each.
2
Put one cup of the flour on fruit (I guess it is assumed that you knew you had to cut the pineapple ring up); stir.
3
Beat remaining flour into butter/egg mixture; then add lemon juice and rind (I'm guessing you would chop it first, or have it as zest; Mrs. Allingham didn't say).
4
Stir fruit mixture inches.
5
Bake at 250 degrees for 2 1/2 to 3 hours.

Note: this is how the recipe is worded; my guess is that the batter should go into greased and floured pans, or even pans lined with buttered brown paper.
