He brews it, I use it…

Easy, No Fat, Friut Loaf

  • 1lb dried fruit

  • 500ml Bakewell Best Bitter

  • 2 mugs self-raising flour

  • 1 mug soft brown sugar

  • 1 egg – beaten

 

Recipe

Place the fruit, Bakewell Best Bitter and the sugar into a large saucepan.

Simmer slowly for 20 minutes

Allow the mixture to cool.

Stir in the flour and add the beaten egg.

Turn into a greased and lined 1lb Loaf Tin.

Cook in moderate oven (300F/G2/150oC) for 1_ hours

Test with skewer. When ready, cover with a tea towel and allow to cool.

This allows the outside of the loaf to stay moist.

When completely cooled, wrap in greaseproof paper and store in an airtight tin.
