Fruit cake
1 kg mixed fruit
Think figs, think currants, think
Think figs, think currants, think
2 1/2 cups of liquid
Think tea, think whiskey, think juice
2 cups self raising flour
Add star anise, add cinnamon stick, add
Bring fruit to boil in the liquid
Simmer for 3 minutes
Cool for two hours
Fold sifted flour into fruit
Bake in lined square tin for two hours
On lowest shelf in oven at 150
Brush hot cake with liquid
Think single malt, think brandy, think
Cool in tin
Wrap in baking paper and foil
Store in airtight container
Wait two days before slicing
Serve with cheese
And a strong cup of tea
Recommended musical accompaniment to the baking process
