Directions
- Weigh out your dried fruits...I use whatever I have on hand. Favourite components would be raisins, dates, currents, apricots and crystalized ginger. Soak these overnight in 1 cup of hot earl grey tea and the brown sugar. (you can use any tea...I usually put my leftovers to good use when making a large pot of tea)
- Line a loaf tin with baking paper. Mix into the soaked fruits one beaten egg and 2 cups SR flour.
- Pour into loaf tin Bake at 160c for about 40mins, test with wooden skewer.
