How to Make Christmas Slice
- In a large saucepan, combine the mixed dried fruit, fruit mince, softened butter, brown sugar, orange zest, and orange juice. Stir over low heat until the sugar dissolves and the butter melts completely. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
- Preheat your oven to 160°C (140°C fan-forced).
- Grease a 30x20cm slice pan and line it with baking paper, leaving an overhang on the longer sides for easy lifting.
- Stir the chopped dark chocolate and the large egg into the cooled fruit mixture until well combined.
- Sift the plain flour and self-raising flour over the mixture. Gently fold in until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle the chopped nuts over the top.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top is browning too quickly, cover loosely with foil.
- Let the slice cool completely in the pan before cutting into pieces. This allows it to set properly and makes cutting much easier.
