Recipe | Apricot Tea Bread

Picture
I tried this tea bread out because I was curious to see what adding apricots would do to a bread. It's absolutely lovely! And I'm not the only taster to attest to that! Better still, it came from a lower calorie cookbook!

Serves 10
Calories per serving 230
Prep time 25 minutes , plus soaking
 Cooking time 1 hour

Ingredients:
100g Ready-to-eat Dried apricots, chopped
100g Sultanas
100g Raisins (I used currants as I had no raisins to hand)
130g Soft Light brown sugar
300mls Hot strong tea
275g Self-raising flour
1 Teaspoon Bicarbonate of soda
1 Teaspoon Ground cinnamon
1 egg, beaten

Method:
1)  Place the dried fruit and sugar in a mixing bowl and add hot tea before
     mixing. Leave to soak in for 4 hours or overnight. Meanwhile,
     pre-heat the oven 160oC (325 F and gas mark3.
2) Mix the flour, soda and cinnamon together and pour in the soaked fruits
     and beaten egg before stirring together.
3) Spoon this into a greased and lined 1kg (2lb) loaf tin. Level the surface
    and bake in the centre of a pre-heated oven for 1 hour or until well
    risen, the top has cracked and a skewer inserted into the centre comes
    out clean.
4) Leave to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before loosening the edges and
     lifting out with the lining paper. Transfer to a wire rack and peel off the
     lining paper to cool completely. Serve the sliced with a little butter.
5) Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

Let me know how you find this one!
Be good,

*Mwah*
