• Step 1

  Preheat oven to 200°C. Grease a 3cm-deep, 17cm x 28cm (base) slab pan and line with baking paper (see note).

  Make filling: Combine mixed fruit, sherry, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg in a saucepan over medium heat. Heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 7 minutes or until sugar is melted and mixture just comes to the boil. Set aside to cool completely.
