I have a recipe from my grandmother that calls for currants, citron, briar molasses, and nutmeats. Where can I find them in St Louis. Here is the recipe.
Fruit Cookies - makes 300 cookies
6 bottles Brier Rabbit molasses 1 qt Crisco 1 c sugar 1 lb currants 1 lb dark raisins 1 pkg citron 1 qt nutmeats Sift together: about 5 pounds flour 2 Tbsp cinnamon 2 Tbsp cloves 2 Tbsp nutmeg 2 Tbsp allspice 1 heaping tsp salt
Dissolve 1/2 cup baking soda in 1/2 c buttermilk and add to above mixture. Stir well.
Roll out to about 1/4 to 1/2". Spread sugar on dough. Cut with 2"cookie cutter Reroll remaining dough. Spread lighter sprinkle of sugar on dough. Continue until dough is gone.
Place on a greased cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees F for 12 minutes. Cookies will be flat. Store in air tight container with wax paper between layers. Will last almost forever.
