Manx Bunloaf

• 18 ounces plain flour
• 2 ounces margarine
• 2 ounces lard
• 2 ounces brown sugar
• 2 ounces white sugar
• 2 eggs
• 18 ounces currants
• 5 ounces sultanas
• 2 1/2 ounces mixed candied peel
• 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
• 1 teaspoon mixed spice
• buttermilk, to mix

1. No method given but judging from the ingredients rather like a rich fruit cake :beat fats and sugar, add eggs; sift flour spice and raising ingredients, then add with fruit and cook in a slow oven (150C - probably around 2 hours but needs experimentation). Alternatively possibly rub fats into sifted flour/spice mix and then add eggs, fruit and buttermilk to produce the required dropping consistency.
