Steps:
- Tip the fruit into a bowl with the sugar and orange zest. Pour over the tea, stir everything together and leave to soak overnight.
- Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Grease and line the base and short sides of a 900g/loaf tin with 1 strip of baking parchment. Tip the flour and spice into a bowl, and beat in the fruit and soaking liquid. Add the egg, followed by the butter. Beat until you have a well-combined, stiff batter, then tip into the prepared loaf tin. Bake for 1¼ hrs, covering with foil or parchment if the top starts to get too dark. Check with a skewer - if it doesn't come out clean, give it another 5-10 mins in the oven.
- Leave to cool in the tin for 10 mins, then remove and leave to cool completely. Serve sliced and buttered, if you like.

BARA BRITH BREAD
From the Avon International Cookbook. According to the cookbook Bara Brith is welsh for Speckled bread. I guess it's because of the currants and/or raisins used in the recipe. If you buy active dry yeast in a small container like I do, use 2 teaspoons for the recipe. Rising of the dough is part of prep time, as you need to let it sit and rise.

Steps:
- This is Wales' traditional rich fruit bread.
- South Wales makes it with baking powder; Northerners prefer yeast as the raising agent. Either way it's delicious.
- Soak the dried fruit and sugar overnight in the tea.
- You can use either fresh tea, or the cold dregs from the teapot (this gives a good strong colour). Next day, sieve the flour and fold it it into the fruit. Mix in the lightly beaten egg.
- Line a small loaf-tin with buttered paper then tip in the mixture, smoothing it well into the corners.
- Bake in a gentle oven at 300 F (150 C) for 1-1/2 hours.
- Cool and store for at least 2 days in a tin so that it matures moist and rich.
- Traditionalists say you should never butter the Bara Brith, but it's lovely that way!
