FRUIT
SLICES RECIPE
This
recipe will teach you how to make Fruit Slices. It is a quick
and easy recipe to make. Now
I have to tell you this is my favourite slice as I love the
flavours of sultanas, currants, raisins and the cinnamon
mixed together with the rest of the ingredients
makes the taste of the Fruit Slices absolutely fantastic.
I always make these slices when we are going
on a trip and I take along a thermos then when we stop for
morning tea we have our Fruit Slices and a hot cuppa as it
is to expensive to always buy a cuppa and slice along the
way and home cooking is much better don't you think.

3 oz raisins
1 Tbs sugar

Fruit
Slices Method
To make the fruit filling put
the fruits through a mincer and add the melted butter, sugar,
grated lemon rind, cinnamon and brandy. Sift the 2 cups flour
for the pastry and rub in the butter and then add the sugar.
Beat the egg yolk with the water and mix into the dry ingredients
to make a rather firm dough. Roll out the dough to line a
well greased 11 x 7 inch shallow oven tray then fill with
the fruit mixture. Combine all the ingredients for the topping
in a bowl then sprinkle them over the fruit filling. Bake
the Fruit Slices at 375 degrees for about 25 minutes. Take
care not to over brown the topping. Cut into slices while
still warm.
