8-9 ozs Dried fruit mix
1/2 pint boiling water
3 strong Tea bags
6ozs Soft brown sugar ( I use dark brown but light brown is good too just makes a lighter coloured loaf )
8ozs SR flour
1 lg egg
1/2 tea spoon Mixed spice
1/2 tea spoon Cinnamon
1) Brew the tea bags in the hot water for 5 minutes , remove the tea bags and stir in sugar
2) Pour tea over fruit , cover and leave to stand overnight ,
3) Mix all dry ingredients
4) Slowly stir in Egg Soaked fruit and remaining Tea liquid
5) When mixture has become a thick batter pour into a lightly greased bottom-lined 2lb loaf tin
6) place in a pre-heated oven Gas marked 3 , 325F , Electric 160C for 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 hours, check after one and a half hours sometimes only takes that
7) Leave to stand for 10 mins in the tin before turning out
Lovely on its own or as I like it with butter spread on it
