It would still be vastly improved by a handful of raisins and other dried fruit soaked in rum, though, and maybe a handful of nuts too, but even without, I would pronounce it a very reasonable recipe for kids snacks (am I old fashioned or what? giving the kids home-baked snacks to take to school? they would die of shame, no doubt!)Pipedreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12332657086416792163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24170237.post-12392032499173600362011-11-09T06:57:00.759+10:002011-11-09T06:57:00.759+10:00HI Marion.

I used to make it often. Boil fruit, sugar and butter together, cook, mix in eggs and flour, and bake. Very easy and effective.Marionhttp://learnearnandreturn.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
