BOILED FRUIT CAKE
This recipe comes from my great grandma, maybe not exactly as she would have made it. Apparently my great granddad liked it fried in butter for breakfast. Up until now it has been a verbal recipe so my mother and I have put it down in "writing for prosterity. It's not a fancy fruit cake but something for everyday. I like this with a blue cheese.

Steps:
- Start by dicing the fruits. Place fruit, butter, sugar and water in a large saucepan. Bring to the boil over medium heat and then simmer for two minutes, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
- Meanwhile sieve the dry ingredients, lightly beat the eggs and prepare a 7 inch cake pan by lining the outside with aluminium foil and inside with a parchment paper ring. Set this aside.
- Once the boiled fruit mixture is cooled. add lightly whisked eggs, golden syrup, lemon and orange zest. Fold gently. Then add the sieved dry ingredients and mix to form a cake batter.
- Transfer it to the prepared pan and smoothen the top.
- In your preheated oven of 150°C, place an inverted cookie tray. Place the cake pan on top of this tray in the center of the oven. Bake for 65 to 80 mins or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. It took me 70 mins.
- Let it cool in the tin for 10 mins and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely
- Once cooled glaze with apricot glaze and sprinkle with nut and seed mixture or keep it plain.
