Boiled Fruit cake

Has anyone got the recipe for the Bero boiled fruit cake, please?
I cannot remember the quantities needed.
I tried another recipe couple of weeks ago but we all prefer the Bero one

    Edit - Actually forget that, it doesn't have the recipe in it, though it looks like you can send off for the latest reprint of the original book

    You could try here too, claims to be the be-ro recipe

    I did find the link you sent, but I cannot find the recipe at all. I have a Bero recipe book but it isn't in this one, although it has been in past books

    It is the boiled one I'm after, I have found boiled fruit cake recipes, just not the Bero one. Thank you for looking though.
    I think I may contact Bero and ask them direct x

    Not sure if this it, Easy Fruit Cake it's says for a change, try a delicious cake made in an easy but unusual way - the boiling method, this is from an old bero book cost 1/6p

    12oz Mixed fruit
    4oz sugar
    4oz butter or margarine
    1/4 pint water
    1 egg
    8oz bero SR flour

    Place fruit, sugar, margarine or butter and water in pan simmer slowly for 20 mins
    Allow to cool, then add beaten egg and stir in flour
    Turn into greased 6 or 7 inch tin
    Bake in a very moderate oven 300-325F gas mark 2-3 about one and a half hours
    I might have added some mixed spice

  • Coincidentally I had a dream last night about mixed fruit - I remember dates in there and apricot which may or may not have been chopped small enough, and thinking 'i'll probably get away with that'. I blame Bake Off
