Ingredients
3 Essential Original Blend Tea Bags
250g essential mixed fruit
A little oil, for greasing
1 Essential Free Range White Egg
150g light brown soft sugar
250g essential self-raising flour
2 tsp mixed spice
Butter or dairy-free alternative, to serve
Method
Put the tea bags into a bowl,
cover with 250ml freshly
boiled water and leave to
steep for 4-5 minutes, or
until the tea is strong. Remove
the tea bags, stir the mixed
fruit into the hot tea and
leave to soak for at least
3 hours, or overnight.
Preheat the oven to 160ºC,
gas mark 3. Grease a 1kg
loaf tin, then line with baking
parchment. Put the egg and
sugar into a mixing bowl, then
beat together using an electric
hand mixer until pale. Add the
soaked fruit and its liquid and
beat in. Combine the flour,
spice and a pinch of salt. Fold
gradually into the wet mix.
Tip the batter into the
prepared loaf tin and smooth
it out. Bake for about 1 hour
15 minutes, or until the loaf
is risen and firm, and a skewer
pushed into the middle
comes out clean.
Leave to cool in the tin for
10 minutes, then turn onto
a wire rack and leave to cool
completely before slicing.
Spread with butter to serve
or, as the recipe is dairy free,
use a dairy free alternative,
if liked.
