Excellant!! easy recipe, just as I remember, I used Blueberries instead so I hope they are as delicious as having raisins in. Will soon find out:)
It was my first go when today at making this, i did it all alone, but my mum just did the oven bit and it was delicious!
The recipe sounds dry, i suggest you should add white and chocolate chip. Thats what i did
