Any recipes for making a Fruit Loaf?

[fourfinches]

This is very easy to make - both my boyshave made it and is good either on its own or spread with butter.

 

8oz self raising flour

2 eggs

8oz dried fruit (I use sultanas)

4oz marg

1 cup sugar

1 cup water

1 level teaspoon bicarbonate of soda

 

Put fruit, marg, sugar & water in pan. Bring to boil & add bicarb soda. Simmer for 10-15 mins. Leave to cool, add flour & eggs. Put in lined loaf tin & bake for 45 mins at Gas 4, cover and bake for further 10 mins.

 

Hope you enjoy it. Don't eat it all at once It tastes even better when its a day old!
