Hi there Nancy, Ditto, Little One and Recipe Pals,

Here is a very easy Fruit loaf that can be made with any dried fruit that you have in the pantry.

Raisin Loaf

60 gms (2 oz) softened butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
1 cup raisins
2 cups self-raising flour

Pre heat oven to 180C (350F).

Place butter, sugar, raisins and water in a saucepan and bring to the boil, simmer for 5 minutes then set aside to cool.

Add flour and mix, extra water can be added if needed.
Bake in a greased loaf pan and bake for 45 minutes.

Frost with a Lemon Frosting using 1 cup icing sugar(powdered sugar) and the juice of 1 lemon to make a paste.
Regards, Elizabeth, Bendigo, Australia
