Step #1
Method (Makes 18): Place the Sultana’s chopped cherries, apricots, currants, cranberries and zest into a bowl with the Brandy. Mix and leave for 24 hours.
Step #2
Place the Ginger Cake Mix into a bowl and add the water and oil, then mix to form a smooth batter beating for 1-2 minutes. Then add the fruit mixture to the batter and mix well.
