MRS. THURMAN'S GRANDMA'S FRUIT CAKE BONBONS

1 (6 oz) can frozen orange juice concentrate (thawed)
1/2 cup molasses
1 (15 oz) pkg raisins (3 cups)
1 (1 lb) jar mixed fruits and peels (2 cups)
1/2 cup oleo or butter
2/3 cup sugar
3 eggs
1 1/4 cups sifted flour
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/8 teaspoon soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon allspice
In saucepan combine orange juice concentrate, molasses and raisins. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, till mixture comes to boil. Reduce heat; simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Reserve 1/2 cup candied fruit for garnish; stir remainder into orange juice mixture.
Cream together butter (or oleo) and sugar. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Sift together flour, soda and spices. Stir into creamed mixture. Add orange juice mixture and nuts. Mix well.
Line muffin pans (1 3/4" size) with paper cups. Place 1 tablespoonful batter in each. Top with 1 or 2 pieces of reserved fruit.
Bake at 350° for 20 to 25 minutes.
May be baked in 11x4x3 loaf pan, greased and floured and lined in a 275° oven for 2 1/2 hours.
I make these at Christmas in the tiny muffin pans.
