Molly's Boiled fruit cake

My Aunty Molly was a great cook!  I remember Sunday lunches at her house always included wonderful cakes.  Here is her recipie for a boiled fruit cake.  I think she may have got it from a can of crushed pineapple.  

There is no indication as to the size of the can, but I guess it would have been around a cup or so. Also, the recipie is reproduced as it is written in my mothers cook book, so instructions are bare.
