Method:

Line a deep 20 cm round cake tin with two sheets of baking paper, bringing the paper 5 cm above the edges of the tin.
Combine undrained pineapple, chopped fruit, butter, sugar, spice and soda in a saucepan. Stir over low heat until sugar is dissolved, bring to boil and boil uncovered for 3 minutes. Allow to become cold.
When boiled fruit is cold, add beaten eggs and sifted dry ingredients, mix well.
