Mine is Parkin. Bonfire night on Monday and it's traditional fr we northerenrs to have Parkin si I thought I'd make some today as it needs a few days to mature before I take it to patchwork on Monday. I was thinking of laying some pear halves on top of the batter to lighten it a bit but will they keep well too? Or should I stck with the original?

Parkin, yum! I feel a baking session coming on.
My apple cake is best eaten within a day or so of making, otherwise it gets a bit soggy (still tastes fine, but a bit messy to eat). Not sure if pears in parkin would be the same though.
