Tip

Great as they are for kids lunchboxes.

For Christmas, I dip the tops in melted white chocolate and place a jaffa on the top.

    Very good and easy recipe..made for Christmas time. Had very few dried apricots and no pears..so just substituted other dried fruit eg. Glace cherries etc. Luckily had enough sultanas though! Turned out really well.Thanks.

    Great light fruit cake recipe in snack size.
    So easy to make, they keep well & hubby loves to take them in the truck for a snack! This is definitely our go to fruitcake recipe now that the grandparents are no longer able to supply the family with Christmas cakes! Thank you for sharing!

    Yummy, these are so light and delicious. I’ve used up left over Christmas fruits and bought another load to keep making them, hubby loves taking them to work for snacks. I’ve found so far any mix of dried fruit works I just keep total amount the same. I’ve also added a green apple roughly chopped. Thanks for the recipe.
