another I too am Spartacus moment - springy chicken, my recipe said 4 1/2 hours and I didn't check at 4 hours, which I when it probably would have been perfect.
Ah well, this means a happy Mr i, there is a slightly crispy round the edges fruit cake for him to enjoy. I will no doubt find it impossible not to do the same, even though I seem to have jeans that keep shrinking in the wash
I'm soaking yet more fruit and will try again. Let's face it, we aren't going to be out on the razzle, out at the theatre, looking after grandchildren (well those of us in the vulnerable group won't) so hey ho, let them make cake.
