Now, I'm already making my own, and it's quite good, though I say so myself.
My question is, how do you make it all sticky and soft? Mine's got the texture of a moist loaf of bread.

Is it one of those things that gets stickier after a few days - like parkin?

More would imply putting some in in the first place. I suppose it's worth a try. Now to get back the half pot of treacle given to BIL for his butties...

That's why I left dots... I'm not sure what you have in there.

What do you have in there?

Not mine, but it doesn't really go off either. Last week's lasted for at least 6 days with no real difference.

Now, the fruit cakes in the cupboard, that's a different matter.

Maybe treacle might help! If it gets too sweet, cut back on the sugar. I have a packet of Soreen, I'll grab a look at the ingredients.

They cite Glycerol, a humectant (something used to keep foodstuffs moist), and interestingly, condensed milk.

So...

have you tried using the malt extract stuff that is the consistency of treacle that they sell in chemists or health food stores---that's what all the recipes I've tried said to use

No, I've got flour that's already got the extract in it. Only one bag to go (about 3 loaved (bread sized, not Soreen)) so I might try that afterwards.
