Ingredients

  • 600g mixed fruit (e.g. sultanas, raisins, apricots, dates etc.)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1⁄4 tsp nutmeg
  • Zest and juice of one orange
  • 200g ground almonds
  • 3 tbsp butter, melted

  3. Add the eggs to a food processor or bowl and lightly beat until pale and frothy.
  4. Add the melted butter, fruit and spices, and mix well.
  5. Add the walnuts and ground almonds and mix. If using a food processor, only mix for a short period of time to combine ingredients and be careful not to blend the fruit and nuts too much as they may liquidise.
