Many years ago, on the side of the Sainsbury's flour packet, there was an easy recipe for a fruit cake. The cake had tinned crushed pineapple it. Does anyone have a recipe?
If that’s not right I’ve got a friend on the food forum who has a well known baking blog … shall I ask her? If she doesn’t have it one of her followers might …

The thing is, @Dovefromabove, I don't remember it being boiled but I suppose it might have been. It was certainly moist and crumbly . Most recipes on Google are for boiled too. The recipe you linked looks nice and easy. Worth a try. Thank you 😋
I have the rumblings in my loins for making a game pie and pickling an ox tongue for Christmas! I have started assembling and preparing the game meat to spread the load. Bought a lovely fresh tongue yesterday so will be able to start the pickling process. I did one a couple of years ago, it was lovely, so much better than shop tongue. A bit of a faff but worth it. I found venison, pheasant, wild rabbit, herby sausage meat and pork belly yesterdayl so well on the way for the pie. All I have to do now is take all of my frozen blackcurrants out of the freezer to make room for the meat. I make blackcurrant cordial from my fruit, it makes a lovely hot drink for the cold winter evenings. Not much time for getting up to mischief for me for the next few days.
Oooh yes @JoyceGoldenlily ... I used to love making that, but my OH and offsprung aren't keen so I'd have to eat it all myself ... I could .... but it wouldnt be good for me. There's a butcher a few miles away who makes his own so I buy that.
Ma used to do a really good pressed tongue ... but the butcher in the next village used to brine it for her. I remember a school friend saying 'What's your mother cooking? It smells lovely' and then lifting the lid off the pan to have a look and seeing the tongue .... she nearly fainted 🤣

I got a tip on here a few years ago to soak the fruit for my Christmas pudding in tea. It went down so well - exclamations of delight, no less - that I've never looked back

@B3 my friend EM has made this ... she's going to search for it for you when she gets a moment (she's looking after grandchild!) ... she's had a recipe cull in the past few years but doesn't remember discarding this one.

My personal favourite is a Cut and Come Again cake. It's a light fruit cake, very crumbly..
