    Put the sugar, water, shortening, raisins, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves on to boil at a slow simmer for 20 minutes.
    Remove from heat and cool.
    When cool, stir in 1 beaten egg, 2 scant cups of flour and the baking soda with a dash of salt.
    Add the fruit and nuts.

    Be sure to test the cake as fruit will make it soft in places and if taken out before done, it will settle and fall.
