Boiled fruitcake recipe?

MamGU12 your recipe is one I use all the time and it never fails. I tend to add rum or scotch into mine and nuts. Don’t use loaf tin always line a cake tin. Beautiful in fact my make one this afternoon. It’s my DH’S favourite cake however he eats it too quickly 😂😂

I've been using this one since the 1980's! I don't worry about brands, but include them for interest. 1 cup = 9 fl oz/250ml

It's the from the mother of a friend of a friend.

Rosesandlilac thank you for the recipe 😘

The Katie Stewart boiled fruit cake is delicious and easy to make. Google "cuckfield.org" and it's on their website.

I mug cold tea
3 mugs dried fruit
1 mug brown sugar (original recipe used 2 but it was too sweet)
4oz butter

Put all in a large pan and bring to the boil, boil for 3 minutes and leave to cool

Stir in 2 cups of flour, you may need more, until you get to a dropping consistency.

Cook at 180° for at least half an hour, may take up to 45 minutes

It's supposed to be egg free
