    This is the best recipe ever. I also twist it for bananna bread or whatever dried fruit I have about.

    This is a recipe that i must try because i love dried fruit and nuts. i probably put in dried cranberries instead of dried cherries and other nuts that i can get hold off. This is very healthy recipe, not butter in the ingredients.

    we had this boxing day morning last year. I cooked it on christmas eve and froze it. Ended up cooking it up on the bbq and it was fantastic a hit with all who where there. Planning on making it again this year.

    this is sensational! I couldnt find dried cherries anywhere so i made it with dried cranberries. i doubled it and it cooked up find but took about 90 mins to cook through. it was eaten within hours.

    It is a staple in our house and our busy teenage sons find they are not starving by morning tea at school. I add whatever is in the pantry and it has never been a failure. Fantastic recipe! Thank you.
