These biscuits reminded me of the Full O Fruit biscuits too although I couldn't think of the name until I saw the comment from veganopoulous.

I actually think the store-bought ones might be vegan but I haven't checked...<br />Your version sound delicious. I've only eaten quinces poached with pears but they are so so tasty like that. <br />I've never watched "Call the Midwife" either although I know it's very popular. I don't have a tv so haven't really seen any of the more recent programmes. coconutandberrieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09808077876445841179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-68615099929186433082013-09-20T17:16:16.447+10:002013-09-20T17:16:16.447+10:00These look great! The only fruity biscuit things ...These look great! The only fruity biscuit things I remember were called (I think) Fruit Slice. When my dad was working, he'd 'accidentally' bring home a packet of biscuits from the canteen. We used to get Jam Fancies, Kingstons (WHAT a treat) or the Fruit Slices. And when we got the Fruit Slices we'd be all ohh... it's Fruit Slices again. Poor dad never got the hint when they'd be sitting there uneaten. <br /><br />Hmmm, Fruit Slices doesn't seem right. A quick google brings up 'Full O' Fruit' but that doesn't really ring the right bell either. Anyway, your biscuits look fab and I've bookmarked them :) I really enjoyed Call the Midwife, though I've only seen the first series.
