Preheat the oven to 300°F. Combine the fruits and walnuts. In another bowl, cream the shortening and sugar until light and fluffy for five to seven minutes. Beat in the eggs and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Then add to the creamed mixture and mix well. Pour over the fruit mixture and stir to coat.

Bring it to room temperature before serving and slice it with a serrated knife.
