1 large orange
1 cup raisins
1 cup walnuts
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup white sugar
1 cup buttermilk
1 egg
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder

1
Squeeze the juice from the orange, and then remove the white from the peel. Place the peel, nuts and raisins in a food processor, and grind coarsely. Add the orange juice to the nut mixture.

Pour batter into a greased and floured 10 inch square pan. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for about 1 hour. Cool.
