                                 Bara Brith




      Ingredients  Method


            10 oz mixed fruit
            2/3 pint hot tea
            3 oz soft brown sugar
            Grated rind of 1 lemon
            12 oz self-raising whole              meal flour
            1 teaspoon mixed spice
            1 large egg



            Soak the mixed fruit in the hot tea, cover and leave to stand 
            overnight. Next day set oven to 350F or Mark4, and grease and line a 
            2lb loaf tin. Strain the fruit and reserve the liquid. Mix together 
            the fruit with the other ingredients in a bowl, adding the reserved 
            liquid a little at a time until a soft dropping consistency is 
            achieved. Pour the mixture into the tin and bake for 45 - 55 minutes 
            until risen and firm to the touch. Cool and serve sliced and 
            buttered.
