  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
     3/4  cup           skim milk
     1/4  cup           sugar
   1      teaspoon      salt
     1/4  cup           shortening
     1/4  cup           warm water
   1      package       active dry yeast
   1      whole         egg -- beaten
   2      cups          all-purpose flour -- sifted
     1/4  cup           candied cherries
     1/4  cup           raisins
     1/4  cup           icing sugar
   4      whole         candied cherries -- chopped finely

Scald milk.  Stir in sugar, salt and shortening and mix until sugar is completely dissolved.  Cool to lukewarm.

In another bowl, measure warm water and sprinkle or crumble in yeast; stir until dissolved.  Add lukewarm milk mixture to dissolved yeast.  Add egg and mix well.  Add flour and beat until smooth.  Gradually add, while beating, flour and beat until mixed.  Turn out on lightly floured board.  Knead until smooth and velvety - about 10 minutes.

Place in a greased bowl; brush top with oil.  Cover, let rise in a warm place, free from draft for about 1 hour, or until double in bulk.  Punch down.  Knead again until soft and velvety - about 5 minutes.

Cut dough into small pieces, the size of walnuts.  Form into balls.  Roll in melted butter or margarine.  Place buttered balls, so that they are almost touching, in a well greased 10” tube pan to cover bottom.  Top with candied cherries and raisins.  Place the remainder of the balls over cherries and raisins.  Cover and let rise again, in a warm place for about 45 minutes or until double in bulk.

Bake at 375°F. for 35 to 40 minutes.  Remove from oven.  Let stand for 5 minutes.  Remove from pan and frost with icing sugar.  Sprinkle with chopped candied cherries.
