This is a boiled fruit loaf. You could use any sort of fruit you fancy in it. Substitute the butter for margarine to make it dairy free as well as egg free. Tastes better after a couple of days. Suitable to freeze.
sorry about missing the sugar yes it goes into the pot for the boiling stage. - 18 Sep 2011
Very nice recipe and similar to one i had years back, so pleased to have found it. I also added a cup of raw peanuts to the mixture at the boiling stage. Super delish! Just note that in the recipe it does not state when to add the sugar. I added it to the boiling stage. - 20 Aug 2011
At what stage is the caster sugar added ? Have only given two star as I haven't baked this yet and I can't post until I give a star - 18 Oct 2015 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)
