INSTRUCTIONS
Beat shortening and sugar together until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time,
beating well after each addition. Sift together 2 cups of the flour,
baking powder, soda, salt and spices. Add alternately with applesauce to
creamed mixture; blend well. Stir in oats.
Combine remaining 1/2 cup flour with raisins, dates, cherries and
nutmeats; stir to coat fruits and nutmeats evenly with flour. Stir into
batter. Pour into 2 greased and waxed paper-lined 8-1/2" x 4-1/2" x
2-1/2" loaf pans.
Bake in preheated very slow oven (275 F.) about 2 hours. Set pan of hot
water in bottom of oven while loaves are baking. Loosen edges; cool on
wire rack about 10 minutes. Remove from pans; cool thoroughly. Wrap
cooled bread and store one day before slicing.
