I have been looking for a recipe for rock cakes. I tried yours today although an exhaustive search yielded no candied peel. I will make the peel myself next time but substituted finely chopped dried apricots in the cakes I made for afternoon tea today. They were quite good.

I rememebr them as being about the second thing we were taught to make in Home Economics (after the truly awful cornflour mould...) and I never touched them after that, despite their appearance (as you say) at every fete and tea party of my childhood. I like the idea of the biscuits as opposed to the cakes - must give those a try!Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12325204219395014329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16479026.post-1163784090139376852006-11-17T17:21:00.000+00:002006-11-17T17:21:00.000+00:00Hello Heidi,So sorry to hear of your loss.

We're also doing pretty well, with a circulation of around 100,000.<BR/>Having noted that food blogs are so popular and a growing trend, we've decided to introduce a food blog element to the magazine. We're hoping to do a kind of 'blogger of the month', which would unveil a different blogger each month, with a profile about them, their passion for food, how they got blogging etc and maybe a recipe.<BR/>At the moment it's just an idea - haven't got as far as deciding what money etc would be involved. But if you - or your fellow bloggers - are interested, I'd appreciate it if you could contact me as soon as possible so that we can have a chat.<BR/>Probably best to email me at first, with your phone details if that's OK.<BR/>I look forward to hearing from you.<BR/>Kind regards, HelenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16479026.post-1162570851562401872006-11-03T16:20:00.000+00:002006-11-03T16:20:00.000+00:00well done; you insisted and succeed!
