*To prepare raisins, place in pan of cold water and bring to boil. Then
drain in sieve. Measure after draining. **Sift flour before measuring.
Cream butter and shortening together; then blend in sugar thoroughly. Beat

Sift together flour, cocoa, soda, and spices. Add to beaten mixture
alternately with wine. Stir in raisins and nuts.
