    :snow_grin Well I couldn't wait, I've made two already.

    THIS IS REALLY DELISH!!!

    I've made it with an ounce less sugar and it works perfectly as the marzipan and cherries add a lot of sweetness. One I made with dried cranberries (very seasonal:xmastree: ) and the other with sultanas.

    There is, however, a serious risk of expanding waistlines :rolleyes: .............

    Hi, I made this yesterday and it is really lovely. It would make a good alternative to rich fruit xmas cake for children and could be covered with glace icing.

    Thanks that sounds really nice. Now if only I could find the 3/4 of a pack of marzipan I had left from doing the christmas cake.
