Boil 1st lot of ingredients for approximately 4 minsâ€¦ watch it doesnâ€™t catch on the bottom and burn. LET IT COOL.

Then add 2nd lot of ingredients.

Mix together gently and pour into paper lined loaf tin â€“ I use my largest loaf tin.

Bake @ 180c for approximately (test with skewer) 1 hour 7 minutes & cover with tin foil half way through to stop top getting too browned.
