This is an easy bread to make and tastes so wonderful especially with butter spread. Best thing is that it does not use yeast and its not too sweet.
Ingredients
500gm diced dried fruit ( I used apricots, blueberries, cranberries, raisins)
4 tea bags ( or any strong tea)
125gm brown sugar
250gm all purpose flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp mixed spice or pumpkin spice
1 medium egg, beaten
1/2 tsp salt
Method
Put tea bags in a large bowl and pour 300ml boiling water and let it infuse for good 10 minutes. Squeeze them out and throw, Add the mixed fruit and let it soak about 1 hour.
Set the oven at 350 degrees. Line the loaf tin with parchment paper. Stir in the flour, spice mix, sugar, baking powder and egg. Mix well.
Spoon onto tin and level the top. Bake for 1 hour or until skewer comes out clean when inserted. Cool in the tin for 10 min, then turn out to cool on a wire rack.
Wrap in greaseproof paper and keep for 2 days before slicing as this improves the flavor. To serve , cut into slices and spread with butter.
