Phew and almost yum!

We have just shifted of a cubic metre of logs. About 1/3rd are too thick and heavy, so they were moved into the garage ready to be halved by the log splitter. The rest I loaded, bit by bit into a wheelie bin, before trundling them around to DB for him to put in our log stores.

We had a break for tea before splitting and stacking the last lot:(

A couple of days ago, I used a fruit loaf recipe from the cooking book for the bread maker. This is how it turned out:
I added the dried fruit by mistake at the beginning but it was light and fluffy. Being 100% wholemeal, it was a lovely consistency but next time, we will try half that and half white. Also, the dried fruit was leftover from last Christmas so fresh would be nicer still. You could taste the fruit was old.

Overall though, a success we shall adjust and repeat.

    A slice of that toasted and slathered with butter would go down a treat right now.

    I have always wondered how a fruit bread would turn out in a bread machine. Looks very good.

    God bless.

      Lovely texture, just need to make a few adjustments for our taste. I think malt extract would maybe be a nice addition.

    There is nothing like fruit loaf and a cuppa after working hard.
