curiouswombatI mentioned last week that I had made orange and cider fruit loaf for the cake-fest at church and ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
deborahw37 mentioned that it sounded good. I thought then I should post the recipe - but only remembered now. So - if anyone wants a go, here is the recipe. It is one I've had for many, many years and so it is in ounces.
Cider and Orange Fruit Loaf
2 oranges
1/4 pint cider (proper, alcoholic, cider)
6 oz sultanas
6 oz soft brown sugar
8oz self-raising flour(for American friends - this is cake flour with ready added baking powder)
pinch salt
Zest and juice the oranges. Put the zest, juice, sugar, fruit and cider in a bowl, stir, and leave overnight.
Next day add the flour and the pinch of salt.
Put into a greased 2lb loaf tin, and bake at 150C (140C works for my fan oven) for 75-90 minutes.
Once cool it is fine eaten as is, but even better buttered.
And yes - there is no fat or eggs - but it really does work.

C over-the-road is now vegan and she was very impressed when I made one for her.

Date: 08/06/2011 08:45 pm (UTC)Small tin crushed pineapple*
3/4lb mixed dried fruit
4 oz glacé cherries
4 oz margarine or butter
6 oz soft brown sugar
8oz SR flour
2 eggs.
*I haven't seen crushed pineapple for ages - although Dole still do it in 227gm tins - but a tin of chunks or rings given a quick whiz in the food processor works.
Put everything except the eggs and flour in a pan and bring to the boil until the sugar is dissolved. Leave to cool Add eggs and flour. Bake at 140C for about 90 minutes.
I think I use the 8" round tin for it - my recipes tend to be a bit scant on things like tin sizes sometimes!
