Cream the shortening and sugar, add beaten eggs, molasses and coffee / rum. Mix well. Add spices to flour and add to mixture. Add strawberry jam and fruit last. Divide into two, five pound pans which have been greased and floured. Bake for 3 hours in a preheated oven at 275 -
300 F (150 -
160 C).
NOTE: If rum is used instead of coffee allow the fruit to soak in it overnight for a better flavour.
