four pounds currants, four pounds raisins, one pound citron, two
pounds figs, two pounds blanched almonds, two oranges, one
tablespoonful cinnamon, one tablespoonful allspice, one-half
tablespoonful mace, one-half tablespoonful cloves, one nutmeg, one
lemon peel (chopped fine), one gill wine, one gill brandy; chop orange
peel and pulp (removing seeds), then work in all the sugar you can
(this is extra sugar), slice the almonds thin, also citron, chop figs
quite fine. Fruit should he weighed after seeding and currants washed.
