Saving this one.

Just made this, used leftover ground almonds instead of essence and added bit of cinnamon coz I like it...

Made in two loaf tins as slices fit in lunchbox easier

This is a lovely moist fruit loaf originally posted by the lovely Candlelight 2013. I have made it numerous times and it is just delicious.

Fat free fruit loaf.

Pour 300ml of boiling water on to a teabag, leave for 3 or 4 mins.
Remove teabag and add 300g. mixed fruit to tea mixture. This can be anything you have in at the time. Cover and leave overnight if possible, if not at least 4 hours.

Add 160g. sugar
225g. S/F
1 tsp. mixed spice or cinnamon
2 medium size beaten eggs.
Mix thoroughly.

Pour into a lined loaf tin and bake for approx. one and a half hours. Test in the usual way.

This is a lovely moist fruit loaf, and you can spread with butter if you wish but I have it without.

This is what we in Wales call Bara Brith. Usually only one egg is used. It is delicious spread with butter.
