1. 1

   Mix citron, raisins, orange peel and brandy; let stand at least 1 hour. Drain; reserve brandy. Dissolve yeast in warm water in large bowl. Stir in reserved brandy, the milk, 1/2 cup margarine, the granulated sugar, salt, nutmeg, eggs and 2 cups of the flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in brandied fruit mixture, almonds, lemon peel and enough remaining flour to make dough easy to handle.

2. 2

   Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Place in greased bowl; turn greased side up . Cover; let rise in warm place until double, about 1 1/2 hours. (Dough is ready if indentation remains when touched.)
