I didn't have any sultanas when I went to bake it, so used a mixture of 400grams mixed fruit and made up the weight with raisins. My husband said it was the nicest one I had made. Will definitely make again. Cooked at 150 for 1 hour and it was perfect!, approved=true, user_name=Sue, hs_createdate=1702249854628, rating_new__1_5_=5, id=11175430691}]}
