Put water, margarine, sugar and fruit into a pan, bring to the boil and simmer for 20 minutes. Cool. Add egg and stir in flour and spices. Place mixture into an 20cm/8" prepared tin and bake in a very moderate oven 150C/300F/Gas mark 2/3) for about one hour. This, so far as I remember, was the only fruit cake my Mum ever baked and her Mother gave her the recipe. It is quick and easy. I sometimes replace the water with cold tea (strained of course...)
FOLLOW THAT WITH SOMETHING EVEN MORE RANDOM  |

"My mother, now gone, always made this and it was a family favourite
Think it's in the BeRo book circa 1960's"
My nan had one of those. It was stained and pages barely held together. She got a new one so I took the old one. The best coconut tarts and scones in the world. All the recipes are on the BERo website. That's my plans for tomorrow  |

I've got the 70's edition and one that's about 5 years old. The old imperial recipes are the best.
Fruit pastilles. I'm tucked up in bed with a packet and have just put a black one on the bedside table just in case the last one is yellow or green - anyone else do that?  |

I have a friend who made me a whole packet of black ones for my birthday!  |

"I defrosted what I thought were salmon fish cakes for my dinner tonight.
Turns out they are quinoa and chickpea from when I was going through a veggie stage.
I'm missing protein. "
But they're full of protein!
Seafood pasta here with king prawns, crab, clams, squid and homegrown grape tomatoes  |

I have an awesome gingerbread recipe from Victorian times that's made with Blackstrap molasses and boiling water.
It's so wonderfully sticky after a couple of days, like malt loaf. |

I know technically they are full of protein. But I only feel like I've eaten protein if I had to chew it!! |
