Mrs Cook's Fruit Loaf

Nothing reminds me more of a delightful morning tea than fruit loaf.  In a previous decade, I would have smothered this delight in softened butter, but these days, I am more interested in the mix of spice and sultanas.

Mum's Christmas Plum Pudding

Yum, Yum, Pudd of Plum.  This is a brilliant, fruity, traditional Christmas cake everyone will enjoy.

Note the ounces (oz) usage rather than kilograms. This is a traditional recipe handed down through generations!
FYI - 35 ounces="1" kg. So 8oz is approximately 300g. 4oz is 150g.
Oh, and with this recipe there is but one rule: 1 glass for the pudd, 1 for the cook....
