    I made this for a Sunday brunch with my in-laws - served with the ricotta and honey - it's a slice of heaven!

    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.
