--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  12       tb           Strong tea
   1       lb           Mixed dried fruit
   6       oz           Soft brown sugar
   1                    Egg, lightly beaten
   1       oz           Butter (melted)
   9       oz           All-purpose flour
     1/2   ts           Bicarbonate of soda

  The mixed fruit can include raisins, currants, and any
  other kind of dried fruit you like; chop any larger
  pieces down to about raisin size. Place the tea, mixed
  fruit and sugar in a bowl; cover and leave overnight.
  Stir in the egg and melted butter. Sieve the flour and
  the bicarb together and fold them in. Line the bottom
  of a large loaf pan with baking parchment, and brush
  the whole inside of the pan with melted butter.  Pour
  the mixture in and smooth the top.  Bake in a
  preheated oven (360 F) on the middle shelf for 1 1/2
  hours.  After removing from the oven, leave in the pan
  for 2-3 minutes;  then turn out of pan and cool on a
  wire rack.
