Very easy delicious recipe - cooking on 180C with a fan I could reduce time by 10 mins next time. I replaced currants with chopped prunes & 1oz (25g) mixed peel. Nice and moist now on favourites list. Thank you

This was delicious, easy to make and a big hit with my hubby. I did add a large variety of fruit including gogi berries, dried mango and chopped dates to the fruitmix mentioned above. Also my diet is sugar-free so i substituted the sugar with a sweetener.
