Ginger And Fruit Tea Loaf - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 oz dried apple, roughly chopped
4 oz raisins
4 oz dried apricots, chopped
1 1/2 cups strong fruit tea made with two teabags
1 oz fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
1 3/4 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
2 None medium eggs

Preparation

Place the fruit in a large bowl and pour in the tea. Leave to soak for at least 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F. Grease and line a 2 lb loaf pan with parchment paper. For the dough, add the remaining ingredients to the fruit and tea and mix well. Spoon into the prepared pan and brush the top with 1 tbsp cold water. Bake 50-60 mins, covering halfway through with foil if the top is browning too quickly. Cool in the pan 10 mins, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
