[…] September 10, 2012 Over the weekend I found these brandied fruit slices on one of my favourite blogs, Hotly Spiced. Charlie is a mother of three children, two of whom are teenagers and, while cooking delicious recipes, entertains us with stories of her day to day life and sometimes, past life as a mother. And very occasionally further back to her childhood. She is always amusing, taking the trouble and strife of her family in her stride and all the while turning out great food. Do pop on over for her recipe for these slices. You’ll find it here. […]

I completely agree, this is a fantastic way to use up dried fruit for sure! This would be a great recipe to use instead of fruit cake during the holiday’s:-) Lovely, Hugs, Terra

I am so sorry to hear that your sister’s confidence was undermined by someone’s careless comment! I’m sure your concern for her was appreciated. The recipe is great. I love fruitcake, so I am sure this would be a great taste!

Oh dear! How horrible, you said all the right things. If I ever need a lawyer I don’t want some facelifted fake, I want a real women who is aging gracefully and has life experience. Having said that I am happy to come along with you guys for the facelift we should get a bood discount with the three of us. Maybe they will throw in a tummy tuck for me 😉

Oh, Lord. The cab driver was clearly a total knob. Your poor sister! Like she doesn’t have enough real issues to worry about. Hook her up with a slice of that cake… sounds like she deserves it!

Hi Marta, thanks so much for your comment. Are you a blogger? I’m trying to find you in the blogosphere and the only information I have is your name and WSIEFBT and nothing is coming up. What’s the name of your blog and what’s the URL?

Old is never too old and is great. I’m 32 and my head is covered with a gray hair and I don’t mind. Each of them tells me how many adventuers and crazy days I had in my life 🙂

I loved the speaking of old line!!! Bahahaha hilarious! Sometimes kids at school (I’m a primary school teacher) want to guess my age, I get any where between 21 and 45… I’m 26. I just laugh.

Speaking of old… that made me laugh out loud. Wish I could join in on the fun.

Well, ‘old’ is a relative thing…..and many over 30-year-old women are all very sensitive with ‘age’….and that’s okay too. So how much are facelifts? I might join you two so we can have something like buy two get one free?
These fruit slices are delectable!
