Great recipe for fruitcake

[John Walton]

No, I'm serious. I'm sharing this because it's fantastic. And fat-free. And
really easy to make. And versatile. You can put bananas in it, or pineapple,
or apricots, or raisins, or cherries, or... ahem. Here we go. All measures
approximate -- don't worry about translating them into grams etc.

1 cup All Bran (a bran cereal -- you can use crushed Bran Flakes instead)
1 cup dried mixed fruit -- raisins, cherries, whatever you feel like
1/2 cup sugar -- probably less if you use a sweeter fruit like pineapple
1 cup milk -- skim/full fat/whatever

Mix this and leave to soak for an hour or so.

1 beaten egg
1 cup of flour. Any flour. Really. I like plain.

Stir these in and put it in a loaf tin. Or whatever sort of tin you like.
Bake for an hour or an hour and a half in a moderate oven. We use one hour
fifteen at 150 centigrade, but we have a fan-assisted oven.

It's also great if you can leave it to stand for a week or so before
munching away. That way the fruity flavors mix throughout the entire loaf.
This is, of course, optional :D

Drink with tea, coffee, or whatever.

Enjoy :D And let me know if you like.
