1 cup / 8 oz butter margarine
1 1/2 cup brown sugar

Pre-soak Fruits
Place raisin, currant, prunes and mixed peels and wine in on air tight container, cover and allow to soak for atleast a week. Fruits can be soaked for months. Blend and use as directed. If in a rush, simmer fruits (except cherries) in wine on low heat for 20-30 minutes or until softened. Remove from heat and allow to cool, leave fruits to soak overnight or for 24 hours, then blend and use in cake. If some bite (pieces of fruit) is preferred some soaked fruits can be removed and not blended, then added to the batter along with blended fruits.
