J Stuff è 40g [1.5oz] Best Butter 40g [1.5oz] lard 110g [4oz] castor sugar 1 egg 1 grated Orange rind--zest NOT PITH!(remove wrapper and sticker especially for your collection) 1 lemon (as above, oh...grate them finely!) 225g plain flour and 2 teaspoons baking powder [or you could use self raising flour] 4 Bananas, very carefully remove stickers then peel and mash to a pulp (the bananas!) 50g [2oz] shelled walnuts coarsely chopped (I don't think Walnuts have stickers?)
J This is what you do è Prepare your New Wrappers and Stickers… then try the following… Preheat oven to 180C / 350F / Gas Mark 4 Grease a 23cm x 13cm / 9 by 5 inch loaf tin Cream butter with lard, add sugar and beat well; then beat in egg; add finely grated Orange and lemon zesty rinds. Sift flour with baking powder and mix in, along with mashed Banana and chopped walnuts. Transfer mixture to loaf tin and fork it level. Bake for 50 minutes. Turn out onto a rack to cool, before slicing.
J Tips è Use a food processor or electric whisk for quickness. If you really want to share, the Banana Loaf should give 8 good slices. And if you don't L it'll keep well in a bag in the fridge, or you could freeze it for later.

New and Archive collections are going here. I am preparing a section of pre 1930 Orange Wrappers, and hope to get records of an Apple and Pear wrapper collection 1954 to 1955.
There are a few books on the subject I have discovered that are in print and other useful publications to list.
For Collectors, Brands mean variety and interest. Growers and distributors alike add their imagery and imagination and so give us the pleasure of collecting and treasuring these artworks. Many juicy stories are revealed the deeper you plunge into the zest of their operations.
Wait and see the albums ! I am putting together a couple of Albums you'll be able to buy that will include special Acid-Free Papers and sticker collecting waxed strips….because it's a great idea that I WISH had been around when I started collecting!!
I love fruit cocktails and Juices (it's a 'Helen-thing') Here, recipes and facts will be concentrated and poured liberally onto the pages for your supping!
A new FAQ's section gets slotted in this part of the updated site …. Intended to give more people, more information and faster! I will be collecting useful stuff from emails and other contributors ….so, please read, comment and feedback.
