Tea Loaf Recipe
This is a great simple tea loaf recipe that produces a moist fruit packed loaf, great to eat toasted or straight as it is topped with butter.
Ingredients
- 1 bottle of Sweet Sally Spiced Tea
- 225 g mixed dried fruit these require soaking overnight or for at least 4 hours
- 225 g self-raising flour
- 110 g superfine sugar
- 1 large beaten egg
- 2 tablespoons orange marmalade
Instructions
- Place the dried fruit in a bowl and pour over the entire bottle of Tea, place in the fridge to soak overnight or for at least 4 hours
- Grease a 675g loaf tin with butter (turns out I didn't have one so used the tin from my bread maker)
- Preheat your oven to 180 or Gas Mark 4
- In a large bowl combine the flour, sugar, eggs and marmalade
- Add the fruit and all the remaining tea and mix well
- Pour the mixture into your baking tin and pop in the centre of the oven
- It should take around 1 hour, but keep an eye and remove once it is golden brown and a knife comes out clean
