- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 2 eggs, slightly beaten
- 1 cup white flour
- 2 ounces candied orange peel or citron
- 1/2 pound currants
-
- Cream butter. Gradually add sugar and continue beating. Add beaten eggs.
- Mix currants and candied orange peel with flour before slowly adding to
- butter mixture. Pour into a greased and floured small (7X3X2 inch) loaf
- pan. Bake at 275 degrees for 1 hour or until done and slightly brown.
