Fruit Eccles

Fruit Squares Fruit Eccles, Blueberry Squares, Apple Squares, Apricot Squares, etc. Fruit squares would not suit the traditionalists.
At the Beechworth Bakery we do Australianised Eccles. And they're more Welsh than English. Some people say, "Oh these aren't like the real Eccles", — but they're real Eccles at the Beechworth Bakery, because I bake the stuff that people want to buy.
We put in fresh apple, sultanas, currants and glazed cherries, whereas the original Eccles only have currants and sugar. Like I said, everyone can adapt, and we did. At home you can do anything you want: put in just apples and sultanas, or sultanas and currants without the apple. We just put the glazed cherries in for that little bit of extra Colour. Every recipe is adaptable.
