Recipe: Victorian Jewels (using marinated candied fruit and raisins, mini muffin cups)

Misc.
VICTORIAN JEWELS

1 1/2 cups diced candied fruit
1/2 cup raisins or golden raisins
1/2 cup rum, brandy or apple juice
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1/3 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 egg
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup chopped nuts
Candied cherries and walnuts (for garnish)
Additional brandy, rum or juice (optional)
Melted apple or currant jelly (for glaze, optional)

Place candied fruits and raisins in a narrow jar and marinate in the brandy, rum or juice overnight.

WHEN READY TO BAKE:
Cream the sugar and butter until light. Beat in the egg; set aside.

In a separate bowl stir together the flour, baking soda, salt, allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. Stir into creamed mixture. Add the nuts and undrained marinated fruits. Mix well.

Spoon into mini-muffin tins lined with paper bonbon cups, filling about three-fourths full. Top each with a halved cherry or walnut.

Bake about 25 minutes at 300 degrees F, until center springs back when lightly touched. Remove from tins. Brush tops with more brandy or juice while warm if desired. Cool, then brush tops with melted jelly if glaze, if desired.

Makes about 5 dozen
