Ingredients

  • 200 g California Walnuts roughly chopped
  • 100 g dried figs chopped
  • 50 g dried cranberries
  • 150 g mixed peel
  • 100 g plain flour
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp mixed spice
  • 200 g runny honey
  • 75 g caster sugar
  • Icing sugar to dust

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 170oC, gas mark 3. Grease and base line a 20cm loose bottomed tin.
  • Place the Walnuts on a baking tray and roast for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, mix together the dried fruit, flour and spices in a large bowl, add the Walnuts.
  • Heat the honey and sugar in a small saucepan until it reaches 115oC with a sugar thermometer (or when ½ tsp dropped into cold water forms a soft ball when squeezed between fingers). Pour into the fruit and nut mixture to evenly coat, then spoon into the prepared tin and level out with the back of an oiled spoon.
  • Bake for 30 minutes and allow to cool in the tin. Dust with icing sugar to serve.
