Surprise Fruit Cake

1 can sweetened condensed milk
2 eggs, slightly beaten
2-2/3 cups (28-oz.) jar ready-to-use mince meat*
2 cups (1 lb.) jar mixed candied fruit
1 cup walnut meats, coarsely chopped
2-1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda

Grease and line with foil, an 8-inch tube or springform pan or two
9x5x3-inch loaf pans. Grease foil.

In large mixing bowl, blend sweetened condensed milk, eggs, mince meat,
mixed candied fruit and walnut meats. Sift blended flour and soda onto top
of batter; fold in. Turn batter into prepared bans.

Bake in slow 300-degree oven, until center springs back when lightly touched
with finger, about 2 hours for tube cake or 1 1/2 hours for loaf cakes.

Cool in pans 5 minutes. Turn cakes out of pan, peel off foil and cool to
room temperature.

*Note: If you wish to use the 8- or 9-oz. pkg. of condensed mince meat,
crumble mince meat into small saucepan. Add 1 1/2 cup water, boil for 1
minute, stirring constantly. Cool.
