Cream shortening, then add sugar and eggs. Beat well. Stir in applesauce. Sift together baking soda, flour, allspice, cloves and cinnamon, and add to creamed mixture. Add vanilla, walnuts, raisins and gumdrops, and mix well. Batter will be stiff. Pour into two or three greased 9-by-3-inch loaf pans.
