  1. This is so good, it reminded me when my mum used to make a bran loaf it was a bit different from this one, hers had raisins. I think apricots and peaches have a lower GI than raisins so they are much better for us diabetics. I did think there was a lot of fruit in it and the next time I will just add one cup of fruit but it was very good. I love fruit cake of any kind and it's nice to know now I am diabetic I can still have this. The girls at work will love this so so nice. Thank you for posting. made for diabetic month November 2010
     
  2. Great loaf with or without butter. This will go into the school lunches really well and as it makes a decent size I may well freeze half. I used chopped almonds instead of the hazels and fruit medley and loved the result - any loaf/cake with cereal is my sort of thing so Pat - many thanks.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

With the demise of the forums and with no more interaction on site with what was a great community and it was a pleasure to get to know so many of you over the years and to have had the privilege of meeting some of you in person. For me now this is just another recipe site like to many on the net, it has lost its specialness, such a pity especially when Scripps changed the name from Recipezaar to Food.com and made this statement sorry cannot replicate here as considered invalid but they basically said yes the community was valuable hence .com was short for community but it was a pack of lies as they were not willing to put the money into that community and got rid of the forums which was the community so for .com has become .crap.
