In large bowl combine all fruit and nuts. Blend all soft ingredients, i.e.: salt, baking powder, and flour, and add to the fruit and nuts in the large bowl. Mix and make sure all pieces are floured. In another bowl cream margarine and sugar. Add eggs separately, beating well after each addition. Then add almond and vanilla flavourings. Fold this liquid or semi-liquid mixture into the larger bowl of floured fruit that you have prepared. Mix well. Turn into pan, pressing down well. Bake 1 3/4 - 2 hours at 300°F. Cool for 20 minutes on wire rack. Peel off paper and then let cool completely.
