Sharon fruit pulp
To make sharon fruit pulp, simmer the sharon fruit for 5-10 minutes in a heavy-based saucepan with a lid over low heat. Stir the mixture often, adding just enough fruit juice to prevent burning. Cool the mixture, then process in a food processor until pureed. You will get one part pulp from two parts whole sharon fruit.

Easy
Very easy to prepare - my 3 yr old helped mix it all together. Delicious and very moist cake, didn't last long. I replaced the cloves with a teaspoon of mixed spice and the walnuts with flaked almonds.
