made this last night Chookie and OMG YUM!!

I made it with spelt flour ... still getting used to working with spelt so not a perfect loaf ... but it will come, just like my bread is nothing like it used to be as well  :D

if the youngest DS likes it then I have no hope of it lasting more than a couple of days in this house. Promptly sliced and froze the rest of it today so I didn't eat it all in one day  :o :o

Just wondering if Macadamia oil could be used in place of the walnut oil?  I've never tried walnut oil but I'm guessing its 'essential' for it's flavour?
Maybe I'll just give it a go anyway with the Macadamia oil and report back :)

Although I love walnut oil,  Maca.oil  would be fine as Gert suggests. I bought some maca. oil in Batemans Bay recently and find the flavor not as strong as the walnut oil.  Have been using it in salads.  I have a beautiful recipe for walnut oil folded into bread.  Will make again , convert and post when i have a moment.

You have summed it up in that one word. It is our favourite fruit loaf now.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

I've had to cut it up and freeze it so I don't keep going back for 'just one more little piece'!

It reminds me of the dutch fruit loaf my mum used to buy from somewhere that I loooved

luel,  i know the Dutch fruit loaf that you like,  and yes it is similar.  But isn't it great to be able to make it yourself. ;D

Just found this recipe and going to make one for my mum this afternoon. I have a small bottle of walnut oil that came in a gift pack at Christmas. Hope it has a long shelf life as no use by date on the bottle.

Should be OK if un opened.  Keep in fridge after opening.  Hope your Mum enjoys the loaf. ;D
