1 tablespoon shortening
1 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup nuts

1 beaten egg

Mix and cool raisins, boiling water, baking soda, shortening, sugar, salt, and nuts.

When cool add flour and egg. Mix until well combined. Pour into greased and floured pans or cans and bake 1 hour @ 350 or until a knife inserted in center comes out clean.
