I have adapted this recipe from one my Mum uses regularly. Mum is also the inspiration for the “mix n’ match” idea as it was initially a bit of a running joke that no two batches were ever the same.
We came to realise that this was in fact their particular charm and why we never got tired of discovering what new combination she had come up with!….David.
