One xmas, in NZ, the wonderful sister of my SIL cooked a beautiful, simple, egg-free date loaf and sent it over on the ferry (my bro, SIL and I were staying on one of the islands out of Aukland, off-grid). It was delicious and I got the recipe from her.

Still, whenever I made it, it is not the same. I gave up, I think something in the recipe is not quite right.

So when I was reminded of the 4-ingredient Dried Fruit Loaf (#Cornersmith's #FoodSaver book includes it), I was excited. I mixed the fruit, left it to soak, and mixed with flour in the evening.

I can tell you, it is wonderful, old fashioned, full of nostalgia and good times. Like eating cake with a cuppa around a wood fire.

The recipe is common, so I can share with my adjustments. A tad more than 4 ingredients but all good.

Mix 1 cup dried fruit (chop any large ones like apricots) with some sugar and 1 cup** strong brewed tea. (I used about 2 Tblsp sugar, other recipes use a lot more. I could have done with even less sugar, so use your judgement). Soak for at least an hour or as long as you like.

Pour the soaking fruit mixture over 1 cup SR flour mixed with 1 small tspn cinnamon and small 1/2 tspn salt. Mix to a thick batter - I had to add some milk to get it to a thick batter stage**.

Bake in a lined loaf tin for 30-40 mins at 180C until skewer comes out clean. Cool 20 mins in the loaf tin, then remove onto a cooling rack. Serve with or without butter (doesn't need it).

** Next time I will use 1.5 cups tea with the fruit, and add the liquid until the thick batter stage is reached.

It is endlessly versatile. I used golden raisins and sour apricots from the Afghan store, and currants. But use any mix, and can add coconut, for example, or mix in a ripe banana (use less liquid), or add some seeds or nuts. Or use honey for sugar. Endless variations.

So, geschafft, jetzt bin ich auch ein #foodsaver . Es ist echt unfassbar, was man in diesem Zusammenhang erfährt und was an Lebensmitteln in Deutschland und der Welt weggeworfen wird.

Ich hoffe, dass ich meinen Beitrag zur Lebensmittelrettung leisten kann. Noch besser wäre es natürlich, wenn nichts gerettet werden muss.

First time trying SouperCubes to #mealprep and it turned out great. Just used my #foodsaver and it was good to go. Overestimated bag size tho.

"Overlapping harvest seasons have increased availability of the tropical fruit at markets, putting prices as low as $1.90 a piece."

For marmalade they should even be more cheap to be found
