Ingredients
- 500g mixed dried fruit
- 300ml strong hot tea
- 225g self-raising flour
- 1 tsp mixed spice
- 1 egg, beaten
- 175g soft brown sugar
Instructions
- Start by placing the mixed dried fruit in a bowl and pouring the hot tea over it. Let it soak overnight or for at least 6 hours.
- Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F) and line your loaf tin with greaseproof paper.
- In a separate mixing bowl, sift the self-raising flour and mixed spice.
- Stir in the beaten egg and soft brown sugar until the mixture is well combined.
- Add the soaked fruit (including any remaining tea) and mix until everything is evenly distributed.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf tin.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the bara brith to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
