Fruit Loaf Recipe
I have inherited my mothers very old reipe folder
When I was a little girl I asked mum if I could have it when she no longer needed it.
It is a teasure trove of all type of recipes and old fashioned ideas that have been hand written by my Great Grandmother, my Grandmother, my mother and many friends and neighbours my parents have had over the years.
I have decided to trial alot of these recipes and share them with you. The first one being from the 1920's. This Fruit Loaf recipe
