Experimenting today did the following and it came out a treat. Even I ate some and I hate glace cherries.
2 oz glace cherries, chopped
2 oz chopped nuts
2 oz chopped peel
1 tablespoon coconut (optional)
2 oz caster sugar
2 oz marge
1 tablespoon milk
1 oz plain flour
4 oz cooking chocolate.
In a saucepan melt marge and sugar gently
Stir flour into the milk and add to the melted butter
Remove from heat and add all the fruit
mix well
Put into a sandwich tin ( approx 7" square)Lined with parchment
Pre heated oven 190c 375f gas 5
Cook for 10 minutes
Allow to cool then tip out and remove paper
Melt chocolate and spread over the smooth underside of Florentine
Mark in curves with fork.
Allow to cool and then cut or break into smaller pieces.
