Jennie Capets Dried Apple Cake 1 cup dried apples soaked, over night then chop & cook in 1/2 cup molasses, until soft & cool off. When cooked add 1/2 cup chopped rasins & 1/2 cup butter 1 1/2 sugar 2 cups of flour & 1 cup of sour milk 1 teaspoons soda 1 cinnamon 1/2 nutmeg Sugared Nuts. Blanch one pound of shelled almonds and put them with one pound of granulated sugar into a saucepan. Let the sugar melt slowly, then remove from the fire and stir until the syrup granulates or becomes sugar again. Put the pan on the fire again and stir until each nut is well covered and browned a golden brown. Put them out on wax paper and pick the nuts carefully apart with wooden skewers or toothpicks. When dry they are ready for the table: they will keep a long time. Good Housekeeping.
