Grease six 6-oz (180-ml) custard cups. Mix candied fruit, dates, raisins, orange rind and nuts in a bowl. Add the 2 tbsp flour and toss together until fruit is coated with flour. Beat shortening, sugar and egg together until well blended. Stir in orange juice. Sift flour, baking powder and salt together into shortening mixture and stir to blend well.
