Hi Helen, welcome to the Forum. Good luck with your converting. I did a boiled fruit cake with pineapple in it . It works quite well, so you might like to look at the method. The only suggestion I would make is to watch how much liquid is in the mix as there is very little evaporation from the bowl while you are boiling the fruit etc. Let us know how you go. I am no good with the computer, so can't put a link in. I posted the recipe on the 28th. Nov 2009.
Welcome Helen - Where ya from??
