Excellent, thank you.

The fruit is soaking in the tea as we speak. Why do I pick cakes that I can't eat for ages?

If I don't have time (can't be bothered to wait) I sometimes heat the fruit and whatever your soaking it in (tea) in a pan. Gently simmer for a while and they'll plump up much quicker.

I might have a go at that next time, thanks! I do try to make a point of doing the first one "properly"!

This one?

And I've found this too. :mad:

And since even you don't know where it is, I reckon I win.

*I* don't have to know where it is. Nyer!

I can find it any time I want The question was for you

So are you getting the hang of the search now?

Edit:- Good grief! I know there is one somewhere - and no I wasn't referring to the clootie dumpling thread. And I can't blummin' well find it when I want! <sob> How about a new "Great Hunt"? The Great Hunt for the Microwave Dumplings with jam post

That sounds good, but there's no tea in it! I'm trying to recreate a Yorkshire Tea Loaf, with the fruit soaked in tea before it's cooked.

I might have a go at yours another day though!

Close - but no cigar - that one's for a full suet pud.

I'll lay odds that it's in a dumpling thread somewhere and one person gave the bog standard suet dumpling recipe and then someone else did a post without quoting saying something like...

..and you can put them in a dish with a blob of jam on each and nuke them for 1.5 minutes.

So the "usual" search terms won't work to find the post because dumplings and microwave very probably aren't in that particular post. This means I'm stuck with searching every single post in every single thread that mentions dumplings.

Anyway... you know how to do it now

Tea-soaked dried fruit:

In the tin (I thought this would overflow, but it didn't):



Fresh out of the oven:



And the first slice for Churchie's birthday:



I've only nibbled a bit that fell off while I was slicing it, so haven't had a proper taste yet. I'll report back tomorrow.
