Fruit Slice

Back to recipe list

                          Whenever we went to a nursing mothers get together in Moranbah we would take something to contribute to either morning tea or lunch depending on the occasion.  I got some great recipes from these get togethers and hopefully other mums got some great recipes from me.  This is one of those recipes.
