"This is a great recipe if you don't have time on your hands at Christmas, and yes it works! This is an original recipe from the Country Woman's Association Australia. I use a packet mixed fruit containing ~ sultanas, currants, raisins, orange and lemon peel and colored glace cherries. NOTE: I like to use a store bought flavored milk as it is a little sweeter and also half milk and prune juice works well. Serve at room temperature or warm it up and serving with a drizzle of cream or brandy custard is delicious."
