Old Fashioned Boiled Sultana (Raisin) Cake image

I have been trusted with my grandmothers hand written recipes. This one has no date but comes from a Mrs MacDonald of Brisbane, Qld Australia. I am wondering if other fruit could be used (dried apricots or dates). It states to serve in slices with butter.
