Ingredients:

200g butter, chopped
215.00 gm caster sugar
125.00 ml dried cranberries
187.50 ml mixed peel
500.00 ml mixed dried fruit
82.50 ml brandy
1.25 gm bicarbonate of soda
3 eggs, lightly beaten
437.50 ml plain flour
49.50 gm self-raising flour
7.50 gm ground ginger
2.50 gm ground cinnamon
Icing sugar mixture, to serve
300.00 gm pure icing sugar
42.00 gm lemon juice
62.50 ml glace ginger, finely chopped

Instructions:

In a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine butter, honey, sugar, cranberries, mixed peel, dried fruit, brandy, and 1/2 cup of water. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, then simmer on low for 5 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat, stir in bicarbonate of soda, and let it cool completely.
Preheat your oven to 150C/130C fan-forced. Grease and line 12 holes in 2 loaf pans with baking paper.
Gently fold eggs into the cooled fruit mixture until combined. Stir in sifted flours, ginger, and cinnamon until well mixed. Distribute the batter evenly into the prepared molds.
Bake for 45 minutes until beautifully golden and firm to the touch. Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the Lemon icing, sift icing sugar into a bowl, then stir in lemon juice until smooth and thick. Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of water for a spreadable consistency, if needed. Spoon over loaves, sprinkle with ginger, and set aside until set. Finish with a dusting of icing sugar before serving.
