Haven't a clue what galangal is, or need to know what to use if you can't buy creme fraiche locally? We're sure our knowledgeable members will be able to point you in the right direction...
It's down to the variety of grapes that the raisins are made from. Some have seeds and some are seedless - "you pays your money and you takes your chance". The raisins are certainly not adulterated.
"Does it really matter what proportion these are used in? I often add the three weights together and make it up with whatever fruits I have."I cheat and used packets of mixed dried fruit. I find most supermarkets' value range are ok and I add extras like chopped apricots, glace pineapple, cherries, prunes, even mango sometimes, to beef up the ordinary mixed fruit. DS's Mrs Thingy's boiled fruit cake out of the cake book responds well to this treatment (even more so if you substitute half booze half water or all booze for the plain water in the recipe).
Thank you NB, that is rather what I hoped for, and the bit about booze, helps use up all those boring ends of bottles!!!
