I found a recipe in a 1950s cookbook for an old Cornish recipe - basically a white bread, but with fruit and spices in it. If you make your own bread, you could try something like this!
I found some old dries fruit in the back of the larder, and it's currently suppplementing the mix of things I put out for the birds! So, in these conditions, if anything is left over there will takers!0 -
i was in co-op yesterday and managed to pick up some yellow stickered whitworths premium fruit mix. can you give me some pointers so i can use it to possibly adapt a recipe. i'm not sure i can just swap raisins for it.

As this has fallen from the front page of OS, I'll add it to the existing thread to give you more ideas. :rudolf: Sheep, pigs, hens and bees on our Teesdale smallholding :rudolf:0 -
I have been given 7kg of dried fruit mix and 2kg of dried prunes... I don't particularly like either so have you got any ideas on what I can make with them? I was going to make (a lot of) mincemeat but all the recipes that I can find have all the constituent parts listed separately.

Mincemeat sounds like a good idea. I would just add up the amount of dried fruit in the recipe and substitute for the same amount of mixed dried fruit IYSWIM.
Another idea would be a tea bread where you soak the fruit in tea before combining with the other ingredients, sorry I don't have a recipe.Fashion on a ration 2025 0/66 coupons spent
