Busyknitter

The recipe is of course taken from The Blessed Delia. This is in fact the actual copy of Delia Smith’s Complete Cookery Course that I was given when I went to university (which I simply cannot accept was twenty-seven years ago, but that’s what the numbers say). The book is all dog-eared, the hard cover has fallen to bits, it’s dotted with strange cooking stains and I still refer to it at least weekly.

Currants

Sultanas

Glace Cherries

All the fruit mixed together

A generous dollop of brandy

And leave it all to soak overnight.
