Today I decided try an easy recipe my SIL told me about. Not sure where it came from but will have to research that later. Yesterday, I combined 1kg of chopped dried fruit - for me that means Cranberries, Apricots, Currants, Prunes and a few left over Dates and Figs that were in the back of the pantry with... wait for it... a 600ml carton of Farmers Union Iced Coffee. I was going to use the strong one but as this might be tried by kids I chose the lesser of two evils. This was left in the fridge overnight to soak up that wonderful nectar.
This morning I added 3 cups of White Wings Self Raising Flour and mixed. Spooned it into some Christmas-y patty pans ready to cook in a slow (150C for about 20 minutes)
OK, so being me I couldn't leave it at just that...
I mixed up some Christmas Spices - Cinnamon, Cloves and Nutmeg with some Castor Sugar and sprinkled it on top and threw on a few slivered Almonds.
Next time tho' I think I would mix the spices into the mix before cooking.
OOH update... I can't find where this recipe came from but there are so many variations - use chocolate milk, fruit juice, sweet wine etc. instead of the Iced coffee.
