What to do with extra "soaked" dried fruit?

We've just put our Christmas cakes in the oven but hubby has soaked too much dried fruit (why would you measure it when you could just guess :rolleyes:).
I don't really want to make another Christmas cake but I'm struggling for ideas as to what to do with it. I think it's about 1.5lb, perhaps a bit less....
Any suggestions?

Could make a nice warming addition to a bowl of porridge depending on what it was soaked in

I think somewhere I might have a pack of suet, so I imagine I could morph it into mincemeat (with whole cherries in it!)??Piglet

I'd just make some bread dough, add some cinnamon and sugar and make some nice sweet rolls. Yum.0

In the end I made a couple of lighter fruit cakes in traybake size. I couldn't bear waiting hours for more delia cakes to cook and I'd run out of proper cake tins. They are all out now and they look lovely!Piglet
