Gma T's: Pear Cake

My grandmother, about 2 years ago, gave me her box of recipes. She passed away April 14th, 2015. My goal this year is to get as many of her recipes onto my Cooking Blog so that I can share them with all interested family and friends.

Cake Ingredients & Directions:

2 1/2 c sugar
3/4 c shortening
4 eggs (beaten together)
1 c sour milk (ewwww maybe just do buttermilk instead ;)
1 heaping tsp baking soda
1 tsp each of Nutmeg, Cloves and Allspice
3 c flour
1 c pecans
1 c pear preserves (or any flavor preserves you like)

            Make and bake as usual 

Filling - Caramel Icing Ingredients & Directions:

3 c sugar (1/2 c brown)
1 tsp butter

Put sugar and milk into a sauce pan and cook until a little dropped in cold water will form a soft ball.
