{Recipe } Fruit Loaf

by Katrina - The Organised Housewife July 26, 2013November 23, 2015
written by Katrina - The Organised Housewife July 26, 2013November 23, 2015

I purchased a bag of mixed dried fruit recently to put in the kid’s school lunch boxes, but they really didn’t like them, which was surprising, usually they enjoy dried fruit.  Rather than the pack going to waste I used it in this really simple fruit loaf recipe.

Please note with this recipe, you will need to let the loaf rest for 24 hours before cutting it up. I cut it up when I thought it was cooled enough, but it crumbled everywhere.  The next day it was so much easier to slice and the kids really loved it.  Little did they know it had the same fruit in it, win win!!

{Recipe } Fruit Loaf

  9. Remove from oven and allow to cool in tin for 20 minutes
  10. Cool completely on rack
  11. Store in an airtight container for 24 hours before slicing

Thanks l love your site, this is my go to recipe, no sugar or butter and very moist. I prefer to use tea rather than Juice or 1/2 and 1/2 and my 2 and 4 year old love helping stir it and eat it, http://allrecipes.co.uk/recipe/12806/4-ingredient-fruit-cake.aspx

That looks like a really easy recipe Tara, love the sound of the juice in it, would definitely give it a beautiful flavour

Instagram post 2196441464149896352_6128276 I absolutely love putting up the Christmas tree with the family! I don a silly Santa hat, crank the Christmas tunes, and we all dance around the lounge room whilst decorating the Christmas tree. Typically I go traditional colours for our Christmas tree, but last year I purchased a white tree and decorated it with pretty pastel colours. It looked pretty, but it didn’t have the same Christmas vibe, so this year I went back to our regular green red and gold decorations.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What colours did you pick for your tree this year? 🎄
