6oz (200g) grated raw carrot


4oz (125g) plain flour


1 teaspoon salt


2-4 oz (60-120g) sugar


1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda


1 teaspoon ground nutmeg


1 teaspoon ground cinnamon


10-12 oz (300-350) mixed dried fruit


3oz (90g) melted dripping or margarine


WASH YOUR HANDS FOR HYGIENE PURPOSES!!!


Instructions:


  1. Grate and prepare all of the  vegetable.
  2. Mix all of the dry ingredients together, add the fruit and vegetables and, lastly, add the melted dripping.
  3. Put into a greased dish, (2 pint [1 liter]) size and cover with grease paper or a lid.
