-
2In another mixing bowl cream butter and add sugar (beat till fluffy) add eggs (mix well) add molasses add prune juice Mix well and set aside

3Sift flour, baking powder, salt, and spices well ( I do this 3 times) Take 1 cup of flour mixture and sift over raisins, cherries and nuts. Add remainder to cream mix and stir. Add both mixing bowls together and mix well again. (easiest to do this with very clean hands)
