    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.
