1 teaspoon baking soda

Pour the water into a saucepan and add the diced fruit, sugar and spices. Boil for 3 mins and stir in the baking soda, leaving it to cool.

Combine the pumpkin with the fruit mix and mix well.

Add in the eggs.
6
Sift together flour and baking powder, then stir into the wet mixture.
7
Toss in the walnuts. Stir to combine.

Line your loaf tin with baking paper and pour in the mixture. Bake for approximately 30 mins, testing with a skewer after that time.
