What great product!
There's bags of mixed fruit out there but this one is superb! Although it is sold as a Christmas Cake mix, I will be using it for my everyday, healthy fruit cakes.

So conveinent!
Bought this mix together with the Xmas Pudding & chocolate cake mixes, these are such a great idea! Saved me so much time, eliminated the waste as I would normally buy all the fruits separately so it also saved me money.
