Lincolnshire Fruit Loaf
12oz mixed dried fruit soaked overnight with 4oz demarara sugar in 71/2 fluid oz cold tea (I use a mug of tea!) Next day, stir well as the sugar will sink to the bottom of the basin! Then add 1 beaten egg and 8oz self-raising flour. Mix well. Put in greased and lined 2-lb loaf tin and bake gas mark 3 or 180C for 1h 20mins. Test with a skewer - if it is not quite cooked give it 10 more mins. It's a very old recipe, hence pounds and ounces! Hope you can convert it if necessary!
