I'd be interested to know what you put in your fruit loaf, if you're happy to share.

    Nothing too exciting. Just a few handfuls of whatever sultanas/currants/mixed fruit I have, a bit of mixed spice and a spoonful of brown sugar.

    If I'm feeling fancy enough to use an actual recipe I use a hot cross bun recipe that works nicely for a loaf too:

    600g flour ( 4 cups)
    1 tsp dry yeast
    1 tsp nutmeg
    1 tsp cinnamon 1/2 tsp salt
    80g caster sugar (1/3 cup)
    80g butter - rub into dry ingredients
    1 egg, lightly beaten
    1 cup milk
    1/3 cup water
    180g sultanas

    Prove, divide, prove & bake

    Makes 12. 200 degree oven 15 mins

    loaf: 1/2 quantity, 110g fruit, small tin.
