Mincemeat only ever comes out near Christmas and Marzipan is returned to
cupboards after Easter. With this delicious recipe for Mincemeat and Marzipan Loaf Cake you have a great excuse to enjoy both all year round. The loaf cake is bursting with flavour from the Mincemeat and you bite into juicy little squares of Marzipan throughout. It’s a very simple bake that keeps well for 4-5 days if you can resist it that long.
In my previous post about Skye Jumble Berry Jam you’ll know I have a lot of
fruit this year, particularly Blackcurrants. After a few ideas on how to put them to good use before the rest go in the freezer I have a lovely cake recipe to share with you. Introducing you to my very easy Blackcurrant and Almond Cake, made with fresh Blackcurrants grown on the Isle of Skye.
So now is an excellent time to be making home-made jam. A few years ago I
owned and run a successful artisan preserves business. I hand made over 500 jars of jam a week so I’ll share some of my tips with you. Then I’ll share my recipe I’ve just created based on what fruit was ready for picking in my garden on the Isle of Skye.
