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

Method
 

  1. 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
  2. Grease a 675g loaf tin with butter (turns out I didn't have one so used the tin from my bread maker)
  3. Preheat your oven to 180 or Gas Mark 4
  4. In a large bowl combine the flour, sugar, eggs and marmalade
  5. Add the fruit and all the remaining tea and mix well
  6. Pour the mixture into your baking tin and pop in the centre of the oven
  7. It should take around 1 hour, but keep an eye and remove once it is golden brown and a knife comes out clean
