Directons

Chop pineapple, raisins, and cherries. Combine chopped fruit with currants, peel, and citron; soak in orange juice overnight.

Preheat oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C). Place a small pan of water in the oven. Line one 5 x 9 inch loaf pan and two 3 x 8 inch loaf pans with parchment or doubled waxed paper.

In a large bowl, cream butter and confectioner's sugar. Stir in beaten egg yolks. Stir in fruit, juice, and nuts. Mix in sifted flour.

In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites to peaks. Fold into batter. Fill pans 2/3 full.

Bake for 2 to 2 1/2 hours until golden brown, or until toothpick comes out clean when inserted.

做法

将菠萝、提子干和樱桃剁碎。加入栗子粉、橘子皮和橙子皮，并放在橘子汁里浸泡一整夜。

将烤箱预热至135摄氏度。在烤箱内放一小盘水。用羊皮纸或双层蜡纸将一个5x9英寸的面包盘和两个3x8英寸的面包盘系在一起。

在一个大碗内，将黄油和细砂糖融化。与打好的蛋黄搅拌在一起。再加入放了一夜的水果、果汁、坚果的混合物搅拌。加入筛好的面粉。

在一个干净的碗里，把蛋清打到最稠，使它上劲。把所有原料倒满烤盘2/3的位置。

烘烤2小时至2个半小时，直至金黄色的原料变成了棕褐色，或者插入牙签试验，如果拔出的牙签是干净的就可以出炉了。
