  1. 10 stars - moist and delicious. Perfect for January or any time of year !
     
  2. Wonderful slice:) Very easy to make and a winner in my home. A lovely cakey slice with the crunch from the nuts on top. You could use any nuts in place of the Brazil nuts- the one cup of nuts was a small packet 150 gram size. The fruit mince was a whole bottle and used the juice of 1/2 orange. Next time I make this slice, I will be trying it using a purchased general purpose gluten-free flour blend, so that I can enjoy a slice too ; Photo also being posted. Thanks for posting another great recipe Pat. Made for "Make my Recipe" tag game in the Aus/NZ Forum

With the demise of the forums and with no more interaction on site with what was a great community and it was a pleasure to get to know so many of you over the years and to have had the privilege of meeting some of you in person. For me now this is just another recipe site like to many on the net, it has lost its specialness, such a pity especially when Scripps changed the name from Recipezaar to Food.com and made this statement sorry cannot replicate here as considered invalid but they basically said yes the community was valuable hence .com was short for community but it was a pack of lies as they were not willing to put the money into that community and got rid of the forums which was the community so for .com has become .crap.
