Fruit and Nut Christmas Ring

250g brazil nuts

250g almonds

125 figs

125g chopped peel

125g red/green cherries

125g broken up pineapple rings

125g your choice of papaya, glace apricots or peaches, dates, raisins

1 1/2 teas baking powder

3 eggs, beaten

1 teas vanilla

pinch of salt

Grease and line ring or 23cm square tin - the ring tin makes a lovely Christmassy wreath. (Greaseproof paper sticks to the cooked cake, so it's worth using baking paper.)

Mix all ingredients together and bake at 130°C for 2 hours.
